(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – Christopher Designs announces the appointment of Leigh-Anne Brown to spearhead sales in the Mid-Southern U.S.

Brown is a Graduate Gemologist and has a track record as a sales achiever in both the B2B and B2C arenas. She has worked in the fine jewelry category for 10 years. In her position with Christopher Designs, Brown will be responsible for growing distribution and sales volume in her territory.

“We are thrilled to be adding Leigh-Anne to our sales force,” said Christopher Slowinski, president and CEO. “Her knowledge of the product, as well as her experience and ability to tell the story of the brand will augment our sales force and help drive us to the next level.”

“Having worked with several jewelry brands as well as a number of retailers, I’m excited to have the opportunity to impact sales at Christopher Designs,” said Brown. “My experience in selling a concept will definitely come in handy as I can explain to retailers how to differentiate Christopher Designs from competitors and remain profitable in a competitive marketplace.”

Brown’s experience spans both consumer-facing retail, working as a top-selling television host for The Liquidation Channel and The Jewellery Channel, as well as on the wholesale level, directing sales and transforming underperforming territories into lucrative revenue generators for a prominent manufacturer. Prior to the jewelry industry, Brown’s experience was in luxury travel, health and wellness. Brown holds a master’s of educational psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a BA in communications and psychology from the University of Arizona.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
