THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY is resilient, but rarely has it experienced an event like the COVID-19 pandemic. In this hour-long webinar, Megan Crabtree of Crabtree Consulting moderates a panel including JBT President Erich Jacobs, RDI Diamonds’ VP of Operations Andrew Rickard and President and Founder Pratima Sethi of Sethi Couture to explore the industry’s “new normal” — and what the future jewelry retailing landscape may look like.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How jewelers and manufacturers can benefit from newly established, remote ways of doing business
  • How new product development and delivery will be handled after quarantine and what jewelers can expect
  • Why retailer/vendor communication can be the keystone to a more secure financial future

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
