Bunger continues, “We’ve experienced tremendous growth since we launched in early 2018, necessitating a US office location that can more quickly respond to the Ania Haie retailer portfolio. Ania Haie has been the number one brand seller for many of our retail partners which is fantastic news. Shop-in-shops and expanded showcase footprints are common conversations with those customers. Coordinating sales and distribution from the US will provide even better services that will help the retailers continue their success.”

“Ania Haie is a hot selling brand which is why we’re excited to be adding a shop-in-shop! They’ve been a great brand partner and our customers are loving how the designs keep up with fashion’s ever-changing trends,” says Sheila Olesky with A Silver Breeze in New York.

Norman Braverman, owner of Angel Haven in Connecticut, says, “We are one of the lucky shops to pick up Ania Haie in the US in its very early stages. Our customers of all ages are attracted to the collection. The turns are amazing. Reorders are steady and shipments arrive quickly. No doubt a winning collection. I’m tickled we’re in on the ground floor of a line that will only continue to grow.”

Retailers will be able to see Ania Haie on display weekdays at the new showroom, Dallas Market Center #7537, when it opens in March. Outside of Dallas, TX, Ania Haie will be exhibiting at the JCK Las Vegas show, Bridge section, Booth 19130. Brand inquiries can be directed to sales@aniahaie.com or 866.256.6151.

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.”
