(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Assael, North America’s premiere source for magnificent pearls and exquisite coral, was among six iconic jewelry brands chosen to participate in the Neiman Marcus invitation-only inaugural Bejeweled Ball held in Dallas Wednesday night. Assael debuted exclusive new pearl and coral jewelry retailing from roughly $50K to over $1 million to more than 200 guests, including top jewelry clients of Neiman Marcus. Attendees were treated to an exclusive experience to shop one-of-a-kind pieces from leading global jewelry brands in a unique garden wonderland in the Hôtel Swexan, a boutique new luxury flagship in the Harwood District of Dallas.

“We are honored to be included in this unprecedented event,” said Peggy Grosz, senior vice president and Creative Director at Assael. “The combination of the ‘Pearl Revolution’ and the ‘Quiet Luxury’ trend have recently brought pearls into the forefront of haute couture fashion. The understated sophistication of our newest designs proved a welcome delight for the most valued customers of Neiman Marcus. We debuted new elevated classics and innovative one-of-a-kind creations developed especially for this event, distinctive looks that epitomize Assael’s elegance with attitude vibe.”

ASSAEL – A 75 YEAR LEGACY
Assael’s extensive inventory of fine and gem quality pearls is unmatched worldwide, the type of excellence and value that Neiman Marcus customers expect. From its post-World War II beginnings, the Assael brand has always prioritized luxury and superior quality. Founder Salvador Assael achieved incredible firsts in jewelry history, bringing and popularizing South
Sea pearls to North America, launching the entire Tahitian cultured pearl industry, and always recognizing pearls as an important segment of the Fashion world.

The clean and modern design for which Assael has become known resonates with Neiman’s customers, both for its wearability and for its fashion longevity. Assael has partnered with Neiman Marcus from the company’s inception, offering exclusive styles to the retailer’s luxury customer base.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
