We purchase jewelry from the general public and often ask them to send us pictures of the items they’d like to sell before making an appointment to come by our showroom. We received a photo from a gentleman of a ring he wanted to sell, and upon closer inspection of the background of the photo, we realized he was sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles in a public restroom! — Julie Walton Garland, Walton’s Jewelry, Franklin, TN

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!”
