It’s called the JV Collective.

A new “jewelers’ row” of sorts is taking shape in Philadelphia.

Five designers have formed the JV Collective, a studio that allows them to share equipment and keep operating costs down, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The women — Melanie Bilenker, Emily Cobb, Mallory Weston, Maria Eife and Leslie Boyd — share a 700-square-foot space in the Bok Building.

That’s about 2 miles from the city’s official Jewelers Row’, where a battle is underway between preservationsts and a developer.

The designers are pushing boundaries with their jewelry “in materials ranging from the familiar (gold, bronze) to the obscure (rope, nylon, human hair),” according to the Inquirer.

Could this jewelers’ row growth into something bigger?

Maybe so.

The newspaper reports that the designers have potentially created “a critical mass for this city’s new jewelry scene.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
