(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.

At Komara Jewelers in Canfield, Ohio, Wilkerson handled all the aspects of its retirement sale just as owner Bob Komara’s children took over day-to-day operations of the business. They’d used other companies before, says Brianna Komara-Pridon, but they didn’t compare. “If we had used Wilkerson then, it would have been so much better.”
