First Ever Triple Crown Winner: Allison-Kaufman Co.

(PRESS RELEASE) LOS ANGELES, CA — Allison-Kaufman Co. is the jewelry industry’s first ever triple crown winner.

In 2022, Allison-Kaufman was voted RJO Vendor of the Year, IJO Vendor of the Year, and the #1 Top Jewelry Brand in Instore Magazine’s 16th Annual Big Survey.

For over 100 years, Allison-Kaufman has upheld their motto of success is mutual. The company partners with its retailers to maximize their store profits and inventory turn by utilizing Allison-Kaufman’s proprietary data analytics software, has a full-service in-house marketing team dedicated to helping its retailers, and stands behind the salability of its merchandise. Known for its finely crafted jewelry, Allison-Kaufman manufacturers everything from basic bridal to unique fashion jewelry in a diverse selection of price points.

Asked about being the first jewelry company to ever be voted for all 3 of these top honors in a single year, Ryan Kaufman said, “We are honored to have been recognized by our retail partners for this achievement. To the many stores that voted for us, we are humbled by your recognition. We thank you for your support and for making the choice to partner with us.” Added Scott Kaufman, “And to those stores yet to work with us, we would love the chance to meet with you and discuss whether we could both benefit from partnering together.”

Allison-Kaufman is one of the oldest and most respected diamond jewelry artisans in the US. For three generations, Allison-Kaufman has earned its reputation as one of the world’s finest jewelry manufacturers. The production of an Allison-Kaufman piece begins with the selection of the most brilliant diamonds and gems to be hand crafted into beautifully styled designs. Only after a meticulous team of jewelers inspects for quality and craftsmanship does a piece become Allison-Kaufman jewelry and receive the distinct AK trademark.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
