(Press Release)
In celebration of the upcoming Nov. 23 release of Disney’s animated motion picture “Moana,” Alex Woo fine jewelry will unveil a limited-edition necklace inspired by the movie.

Not just for kids, the elevated fine jewelry boat design pays homage to the title character, Moana — an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people.

Available in sterling silver ($158) and 14-karat yellow gold ($678), the Disney-licensed necklace will be available starting in November at AlexWoo.com.

The launch of the Moana design marks Alex Woo’s fifth collaboration with Disney. Other licensed products include: Disney/PIXAR’s Finding Dory, Disneynature’s Monkey Kingdom, Disneynature’s African Cats and Disneynature’s Chimpanzee.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
