(PRESS RELEASE) Windsor Jewelers announces that they have one of the most expensive chess sets in the world on display and for sale. The pieces are made of 14 karat yellow and white gold and adorned with gemstones. There is nearly 11 pounds of gold in the set and it took four artists nearly one year to carve the wax models used to cast the pieces. The set was originally commissioned and completed in 1971 and has been in the private collection of only two families since, the set is being sold by the current owner through the original artist.

The set was one of the most popular attractions at the Gemological Institute of America’s Museum, in California when it was on display there. We invite everyone to come in and see this incredible work of art.

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.”
