New logo, website convey “how we have evolved into a 21st century store.”

Greenwich St. Jewelers, formerly Greenwich Jewelers, has announced a rebranding of its name to celebrate its 40th anniversary in New York’s Financial District. Due to its origins on Greenwich Street, the store now includes "St." within its name and logo.

"Our parents, Carl and Milly Gandia, opened the store in 1976 and only changed the store’s location after the September 11th attacks, when structural damage to their building led to a move onto nearby Trinity Place," says Jennifer Gandia, who is now the co-owner of the store, along with her sister, Christina Gandia Gambale. "The new name honors our roots as a downtown New York City retail brand. But the rebranding also conveys how we have evolved into a 21st century store."

In addition to the name change, the sisters worked with New York City branding agency, Established, to create a new Greenwich St. Jewelers logo with a chiseled, artisanal look. Along with the new logo, Greenwich St. Jewelers has adopted a custom dark-blue brand color and also redesigned its website. The new colors and logo will appear in-store, online, and on the business’s new boxes and bags.

"We’ve learned what web surfing consumers want, and what drives them crazy, and we’ve committed to offering them a simple and straightforward shopping experience online, which reflects current best practices," says Christina Gandia Gambale.

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.”
