INSTORE Design Awards 2021 – Best Earring Over $5,000

Leon Megé

Brazilian Paraiba cluster (4.60 TCW) in platinum and 18K antiqued white gold suspended from G-H/VS French-cut diamonds (1.38 TCW) set into 4-prong studs, $90,000

PAUL SCHNEIDER:

Elegant, understated and luxurious. I love the Paraiba with the black settings and the juxtaposition of the sharp colorless tops and the organic bottoms. I also love that they avoid the hook and instead use a post. The customer that can afford these will be very happy with that solution.

MELISSA QUICK:

Who doesn’t look at a Paraiba and want to dive right in?!

TANYA DUKES:

I love the combination of fancy cut stones and bright color tempered by blackened metal. They’re a breath of high jewelry fresh air.

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!”
