Her business has grown fast in just one year.

When red-carpet celebrities peak inside their gift bags at the Oscars and Grammys, they’ll find handmade creations from Kim Ducherer, the founder and jewelry designer behind Farm Wife Style, as the Edmonton Sun details. The article says that Ducherer – who describes herself as a “proud farm wife” with an affinity for rose gold on her website (farmwifejewelry.com) – started the business out of her home about a year ago. Now her jewelry is in about a dozen stores, with her pieces selling between $25-$45. She selected a rose-gold necklace of a lightning bolt for the Grammys gift bags and glittery druzy earrings for the Oscars gift bags.

Windsor Jewelers: Building for Tomorrow with Wilkerson

After 43 years in the jewelry industry, Windsor Jewelers' President Rob Simon knows the value of trusted partnerships. When planning a store expansion in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he turned to Wilkerson to transform existing inventory into construction capital. "There have been very few companies I've dealt with that I totally trust," Simon shares. "Wilkerson understands their success is 100% based on your success." The partnership enabled Windsor to fund new showcases and construction while maintaining their position as their community's premier jeweler. For Simon, the choice was clear: "Over the years, I've been abused in every direction there is by different people in this industry, so I know what to avoid. One company not to avoid is Wilkerson."
