Tariq Riaz L.L.C. (First Place and Retailer’s Choice)

Expandable ring in 18K rose gold featuring 208 brilliant cut pave diamonds (VVS1, D-F, 1.68 TCW) and 13 princess cut natural rubies (0.33 TCW), $20,000

CLAUDIA MATA:

I love the delicate details on the inside of this band, and the interior is just as magnificent as the exterior—no detail was left untouched.

DANA FRIEDMAN:

Love the engineering behind this design. Pavé work looks beautiful, and lastly, the play of color with the pink gold with red is striking!!

MARK TAPPER:

I really love the symmetry of this ring and the fact that it’s expandable gives tremendous versatility to the client allowing them to wear it on a variety of fingers. Lastly, the contrast between the rose gold, diamonds, and rubies really make this ring pop!

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!”
