(PRESS RELEASE) RHINEBECK, NY — Rhinebeck jeweler Adel Chefridi Studio and Gallery has just been awarded Best Jewelry Store in the Hudson Valley by regional publication Chronogram. The organization is proud to have been chosen by local residents to receive this honor.

Hudson Valley publisher Chronogram Media runs the annual contest, called the Chronogrammies. The media company’s 2.5 million readers nominate and vote for their favorite Hudson Valley businesses, organizations, and public figures. The Hudson Valley region, comprising the counties surrounding the Hudson River in New York, from Westchester, just north of New York City, to Albany, is a region known for its independent retailers, from luxury jewelry designers to art boutiques to antiques and furniture shops.

Hudson Valley residents had a wealth of unique jewelers to choose from, but Adel Chefridi stands out not just for the striking, original jewelry designs, at once bold and delicate, but also for the retail space itself. The space, designed by Corinne Jacobson, wife of Chefridi, evokes the same refined artistic sensibility as Chefridi’s jewelry.

Chefridi, born in Tunisia, studied law in college but fell in love with jewelry upon his arrival in New York City. He learned the craft and business of jewelry at GIA and New York-based jewelry trade school Studio Jewelers Ltd.

Adel Chefridi designs are available at nearly one hundred locations across the United States, United Kingdom, and Tunisia. His flagship store, the winner of the Chronogrammy for Best Jewelry Store, is located at 47 East Market St, Rhinebeck, NY 12572.

Exceeding Every Expectation: How Wilkerson Helped d’Original Jewelers Achieve an Outstanding Retirement Sale

When David Rees decided to retire after 34 years of serving Bellevue, Washington’s Eastside, he and his wife knew their exit from d’Original Jewelers needed to honor their decades-long commitment to customers while meeting their financial goals. Since opening in 1990, David had built a reputation as one of the area’s most trusted names for diamonds, custom jewelry, and repairs. Understanding that a successful retirement sale requires more than just discounting merchandise, David chose Wilkerson to manage his transition. What impressed him most was their attention to detail, particularly in accounting and sales projections. The results far exceeded his expectations — the sale significantly outperformed projections, delivering exceptional financial results that surpassed his retirement goals. “They were always there for support. If we needed anything, they were able to accomplish that,” David shares. For jewelers contemplating retirement, David’s experience demonstrates Wilkerson’s proven ability to deliver outstanding results while providing comprehensive support throughout the entire process. His recommendation? “100% yes.”
