But not before a search party spent hours digging through a municipal dump.

Here’s a lost-and-found tale that will restore your faith in humanity. According to The Jewish Week, a $10,000 diamond engagement ring that was unwittingly thrown away by a bride-to-be in Jerusalem was discovered and returned days later by a good-hearted elderly man. The home garbage bag containing the ring eventually made its way to a municipal dump, where a group of volunteers organized by the family spent hours sifting through tons of garbage.

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.
