Under the leadership of 16-year-old founder Shelby Gogulski, the Yourself Expression jewelry label is on pace to eclipse $400,000 in revenue this year, Forbes writes. The company, the article explains, turns “one piece of jewelry into 1,000 different designs” by offering a multitude of interchangeable snap-in charms. In June of 2015, Gogulski appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” and though none of the investors bought into the company, Mark Cuban said Yourself Expression will go on to do bigger and better things. “[The investors] missed out on a good thing and good people to work with,” says Gogulski.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
