LOS ANGELES – Kirk Kara received prominent national exposure this month on Hallmark Channel’s popular daily series “Home & Family.” The episode featured a surprise on-air proposal between CBS’ “The Amazing Race” winners Kelsey Gerckens and Joey Buttita. The show producers featured Kirk Kara throughout the segment during the original airdate (Dec. 16, 2015) that reran the following day.

Kirk Kara’s two-tone gold woman’s engagement ring with hand-engraved detailing and one-carat center stone provided by jewelry retailer Bailey Banks & Biddle was unveiled on-screen by “The Amazing Race” winner Joey Buttita. “The Amazing Race” host Phil Keoghan and “Home & Family” hosts Mark Steines and Cristina Ferrare were present on stage with the couple.

The story of Kirk Kara spans multiple continents and more than a century. Since 1890, this family of artists and artisans has designed and handcrafted rings and fine jewelry. Their talent for designing jewelry has been passed down for four generations from fathers to sons, and now – for the first time in the company’s history – to two daughters.

Kirk Kara has won the Jeweler’s Choice Award in the bridal category eight years in a row. Learn more at KirkKara.com.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
