(PRESS RELEASE) SOMERSET, NJ — Venus Jewelers is closing its doors after 45 years and relocating to a new location. Before moving, Venus Jewelers is hosting a Store Closing Liquidation Sale with savings of up to 70% off storewide to liquidate all diamond, gemstone, gold, and estate jewelry. Everything must go before moving to its new location.
The move to the new store, which is located just steps away in the same shopping center, marks a huge milestone since founder, the late George Stavrianidis opened Venus Jewelers in 1979. Now run by his children, Dr. Peter Stavrianidis and Dora Fount, and his grandson, Jason Stavrianidis, Venus Jewelers has grown from its modest roots into NJ’s highest rated jeweler. It is known as an engagement ring and fine jewelry destination as much as it is for being deeply involved in the community as a generous supporter of the arts and charitable causes.
Venus Jewelers channeled its vision for a unique concept store through an award-winning jewelry boutique designer. The outcome will be a thoughtfully designed much larger space, with a focus on redefining the traditional jewelry shopping experience. Some of the highlights include a dedicated bridal boutique that promotes the Venus Jewelers signature hands-on educational approach, a state-of-the-art custom design and repair shop, and a modern lounge area anchored by a coffee and wine bar.
“Our goal is to redefine the experience of buying engagement rings and jewelry,” said Jason Stavrianidis. “The move will allow us to create a unique experience for clients, an experience that focuses on celebration, education, and the entire journey, not just the jewelry.”
Exceeding Every Expectation: How Wilkerson Helped d’Original Jewelers Achieve an Outstanding Retirement Sale
When David Rees decided to retire after 34 years of serving Bellevue, Washington’s Eastside, he and his wife knew their exit from d’Original Jewelers needed to honor their decades-long commitment to customers while meeting their financial goals. Since opening in 1990, David had built a reputation as one of the area’s most trusted names for diamonds, custom jewelry, and repairs.
Understanding that a successful retirement sale requires more than just discounting merchandise, David chose Wilkerson to manage his transition. What impressed him most was their attention to detail, particularly in accounting and sales projections. The results far exceeded his expectations — the sale significantly outperformed projections, delivering exceptional financial results that surpassed his retirement goals.
“They were always there for support. If we needed anything, they were able to accomplish that,” David shares. For jewelers contemplating retirement, David’s experience demonstrates Wilkerson’s proven ability to deliver outstanding results while providing comprehensive support throughout the entire process. His recommendation? “100% yes.”
