Consumers can expect prices on Cartier products to rise in coming weeks.

Cyrille Vigneron, CEO of the company, has pegged the increases at 3-5 percent, Bloomberg reports.

The increases will help to mitigate rising prices of gold, platinum and diamonds, he said. They will also help to combat recent weakness of the euro against the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan.

Vigneron described the price increases as “mild.”

He told Bloomberg: “We’re in a long-term business, and we have to be careful not to adjust our pricing too quickly.”

He’s optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects due to broad economic and demographic trends, including “overall growth of world wealth.”

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.”
