True, there are countless articles about the “glass ceiling” and 77 cents earned per every man’s dollar, but there are still many women winning at the corporate game. And when they suit up for action, they want the appropriate accessories. Nothing denotes power like the gleam of gold and platinum. Simple silhouettes, monochromatic colors and quiet bling are the way to go for jewels that can command attention in the boardroom. — CINDY EDELSTEIN

THE EARRINGS

The Power Player earrings are not too big, not too colorful and not too swingy. They should add a glimmer of gold and a glint of gems in a restrained yet elegant way.

THE BRACELET

A power gold cuff is a great balance to the power watches that men wear. And simple, unfussy shapes can be feminized with pearls or gems and a bit of soft chain.

THE NECKLACE

The Power Player is always on the go, so jewelry that can be combined, worn different ways and converted is always the best idea for her to get more looks from a few pieces.

THE RING

A gold ring with monochromatic colored gems and a minimalist silhouette will work with every business outfit. Steer clear of trendy colors, odd shapes and funky textures. This is where restraint really pays off.

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.
