Mix Masters

Lashbrook Designs offers a full complement of traditional men’s bands in precious metals but offers envelope-pushing options, too.

Couture Commitment

Karl Lagerfeld’s résumé spans six decades designing for some of the biggest names in luxury fashion — from Chloé to Fendi to Chanel — and he’s still adding to his credentials. He’s teamed up with Frederick Goldman to introduce a namesake line of bridal and wedding jewelry that includes more than 30 engagement rings. Produced in 18K gold and platinum, the pieces feature chic motifs — think pyramids and arches — that are reminiscent of Lagerfeld’s coveted runway creations. (800) 487-2724

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
