(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – A collection of bridal jewelry by a company that doesn’t sell bridal jewelry?
Royal Chain, a company primarily known for its gold and precious metal jewelry, is launching its first bridal collection.
The aptly named collection, “After the Ring”, has nothing to do with what most industry professionals would consider bridal. There are no semi-mounts or even a hint of a wedding band in this collection.
The 24-page catalog is an idea that Royal Chain Vice President of Marketing, Phillip Gabriel Maroof, devised to satisfy his desire to cater to the bridal market without deviating from the company’s roots. It was also a way to help retailers, who frequently complain that once the ring is purchased, they lose all of the additional wedding-related sales to big box stores and online retailers.
The collection will be very focused and geared towards add-on sale items for after that initial ring purchase. It includes fresh, fun-to-flaunt trendsetting pieces that the bride may want to purchase for numerous events surrounding her big day, like the bachelorette party or bridal shower, as well as the all-important gifts for bridesmaids, mother of the bride or groom and groomsmen. Retail prices in the collection will start as low as $29.
Retailers can use it in their stores as a guide for wedding parties searching to complete their wedding day needs.

The book will be available for pick-up at spring buying shows, starting with RJO. It will also be mailed out to all Royal Chain customers at the end of this month. Retailers can preview the collection by visiting Royal Chain’s website here.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
