Jonathan Foltz, CEO of Digital Age Business, said: “The vision of Aphrodite’s was to leave a considerable footprint in the women’s lifestyle industry with something new and exciting around the globe. We have grown incredibly fast without a single outside equity investor, and I believe it is time for us now to get to the next level. We most definitely cannot do this alone.

“With the support from Berge Abajian, an incredible business mind and 3rd generation jeweler, we are adding important components to the business of jewelry & accessories, including Bergio’s connections to factories and manufacturing and operational skill sets that are needed. I am seeing incredible synergies between the two companies that will highly benefit from each other’s collaboration.”

Berge Abajian, CEO of Bergio, said, “We have always intended to expand the Company’s retail brick-and-mortar presence across the globe, but with the technological platform and personnel’s expertise we have acquired in this transaction, we can now also immediately become a direct to consumer ‘player’ in the global internet jewelry market.”

Further details of the transaction were released in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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!”
