For years, Edelstein ran a similar auction.

(Press Release) The Contemporary Jewelry Design Group has announced the inaugural Cindy Edelstein Memorial Charity Auction to take place on June 3 at the COUTURE Show in Las Vegas.

The nonprofit CJDG in cooperation with the COUTURE Show will conduct an online auction of jewelry donated by CJDG members. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Jewelers For Children charity and to the Cindy Edelstein fund of the Women’s Jewelry Association.

The auction has the consent and support of Cindy Edelstein’s family and friends. For many years, Edelstein ran a similar auction in Las Vegas; this auction is a tribute to her and a way for CJDG to give back to the jewelry community.

Details of the online auction site and donated pieces will be forthcoming. The dollar amount raised will be announced at the June 3 event.

Formed in 1989, the CJDG is a national organization dedicated to the promotion of creative jewelry design.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
