LAFAYETTE, LA – Stuller and Gemvision have announced they are now offering three versions of CounterSketch, a CAD software with 3-D capabilities and features that allow a jeweler to interact with customers to design a piece of jewelry in real-time.

The three versions are:

CounterSketch Bridal (New). Dedicated to bridal ring designs, customers can choose from more than 300 starting point styles. Includes ability to customize accent stones, prongs, shanks and more.
CounterSketch Plus (New). With the same design capabilities as CounterSketch Bridal, CounterSketch Plus contains an extended library of more than 1,100 customizable jewelry styles that includes bridal, fashion rings, pendants and more.
CounterSketch Studio. Incorporates the power of Freehand alongside the full library of more than 1,100 starting point models. Using the expanded design capabilities of Freehand, jewelers can add creative touches to designs or create new jewelry from the library of components.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
