Collection to be unveiled during Paris Couture week.

The Wall Street Journal got an exclusive look at Chanel’s new 62-piece, high jewelry collection, with items ranging from $40,000 all the way up to $3.7 million. The line, the article says, pays tribute to Coco Chanel’s “unlikely love of wheat,” which she regarded as a “symbol of prosperity and a recurring design element in her Rue Cambon apartment.” The fashion house will officially unveil the line – consisting of gemstone earrings, necklaces, rings, watches and bracelets – during Paris Couture week from July 1-7.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
