(Press Release) Sterling silver jewelry designer and manufacturer Belle Étoile will be supporting breast cancer awareness through a special edition collection.

Evermore by Belle Étoile will feature an exclusive hand-painted pink Italian enamel coloration available starting October. Belle Étoile will partner with retailers to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to fund breast cancer research. Founded in 1993, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research.

Through their unique and streamlined grants program, the brightest minds in science and medicine are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer.

“October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this cause is very dear to us all at Belle Étoile,” said Carolyn Thamkul, executive vice president at Belle Étoile. In honor of breast cancer awareness, with every purchase of the pink Evermore pendant, Belle Étoile is donating 20 percent of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing research. In addition, Belle Étoile will be hosting a giveaway contest through Facebook and Instagram to promote the cause.

“It is very important for us to raise awareness to fight against breast cancer and to continue to support and to find hope for all,” said Thamkul.

The Evermore Collection, with price points starting at $125, features gorgeous hand-painted Italian enamel and pave-set ribbons of sterling silver interplaying with each other to create a truly classic look symbolizing everlasting love and hope.

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.”
