(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.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
