Whether ‘20s flapper, ‘70s disco or Western-inspired, fringe hemlines shimmied down the international spring 2018 fashion runways. Jewelry creators have been shakers of this look throughout history, but in the past year, designers have been playing with this trend in modern looks with multiple chains for earrings, pendants and necklaces. This creates a lot of fluidity and movement and is also being interpreted with colored gemstones, diamonds and mixed metals.

After 139 Years, A Family Legacy Finds Its Perfect Exit With Wilkerson.
When third-generation jeweler Sam Sipe and his wife Laura decided to close Indianapolis’ historic J.C. Sipe Jewelers, they turned to Wilkerson to handle their retirement sale. “The conditions were right,” Sam explains of their decision to close the 139-year-old business. Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”
