The Engagement Ring Clients That Weren’t Mother and Son

“We had a couple come in looking for engagement rings. The female was a lot older than the male. We assumed he was with his mother. It wasn’t! We Facebook-stalked them after they purchased. Turn the clock back about 10 years, a female junior high teacher was having sex with her 13-year-old male student. She was certainly teaching him more than English. He wasn’t complaining. But somehow, they got found out. She went to prison for several years. Fast forward to now: They are getting married.” — Dave Fadel, Fadel Enterprises, Bountiful, UT

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
