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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
