INSTORE Design Awards 2021 – Best Price Point Under $500

Pharaoun Cocktail Rings

Rainbow after the Storm (of 2020) cocktail ring in 22K gold over sterling silver and featuring reverse-set cubic zirconia, $245

ZDENA Jiroutova:

The Rainbow after the Storm cocktail ring chooses optimism for life and seeing the good and the beauty possible in the world. It accomplishes this with irreverence by reverse-setting each gemstone and revealing the unfamiliar reflections of these typically hidden facets. I’m uplifted by the ring’s story.

ANTHONY DEMARCO:

A bold kaleidoscope of multicolored CZ that’s light and playful. It should put a smile on anyone’s face. Really nice use of metals and well-crafted on all sides. A very creative design and craftsmanship in the use of affordable materials.

LAURA KITSOS:

I voted for this Pharaoun cocktail ring because lately color in jewelry has made me so happy! But I also love the reverse-set detail of the stones and think this ring looks five times more than the price!

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!”
