Diamonds Are Mostly Out of Africa, I’m Out of Connecticut. But We Still Have Much in Common

I AM WHITE AND bright, clean and clear — all the attributes usually associated with diamond, yet I have none of the … let’s say “provenance” of the king of gems. My history as a gemstone dates back to 1839, when I was discovered in a small Connecticut town that would serve as inspiration for my name. Jewelry lovers like me because I provide a big, white, classic look that can be worn with just about anything. And, oh yes, at about $50 a carat, I’m quite a bit cheaper than the big D.

Who am I?

Ready to Move? Let Wilkerson Lead the Way

When Brockhaus Jewelry planned their move to a new location in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman knew exactly who to call for their moving sale: Wilkerson. "Having worked with Wilkerson before, choosing them again made perfect sense," says Shipman. "And our second partnership was even better than the first." The sale exceeded expectations, thanks to Wilkerson's strategic approach - starting with Brockhaus's existing inventory before carefully supplementing with additional pieces. "They made everything simple," Shipman adds. "From the outstanding consultant to the detailed planning, the entire process was seamless." It's why both partners enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to fellow jewelers planning a move, remodel, or retirement sale.
