You decide if it’s weird or brilliant.

Kyra Brooks, a former nurse who’s now a stay-at-home mom, tells Fox 4 News that when she was breastfeeding her daughter she “wanted a tangible way to capture this bond that I had with her.” That ambition eventually gave rise to a thriving enterprise in which people mail her their breast milk that Brooks uses to make beads for necklaces, charm bracelets, pearls, rings and earrings. Her Facebook page now has more than 18,000 likes, and she also has a nifty website with a peculiar URL. “Some people thought it was weird, some people thought it was the best idea ever,” she says.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
