THE CELEBRITIES ATTENDING the always-glamorous Cannes Film Festival were seeing and being seen in the color green. Adriana Lima, Helena Bordon, Petra Nemcova, Josephine Skriver and Julianne Moore all wore emeralds in their ears or around their necks. Ever since Angelina Jolie’s appearance in Lorraine Schwartz’s emerald earrings and ring at the 2009 Academy Awards, emerald stunners have brightened up almost every award show. The launch of Gemfields, Muzo and other responsibly -sourced gem companies in collaboration with innovative designers have created a renewed interest in the vivid green that carries meanings of hope and prosperity.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
