(PRESS RELEASE) Forevermark has enlisted the design talents of celebrity and bridal stylist Micaela Erlanger for its next bridal collection. Forevermark x Micaela, a capsule collection of diamond and platinum engagement rings and wedding bands, is set to launch later this summer.

One of Hollywood’s most in-demand stylists, Erlanger has dressed her celebrity clientele in Forevermark diamonds on numerous occasions, most recently accessorizing Lupita Nyong’o at the 2020 SAG Awards.

As a bride-to-be herself, Erlanger realized that walking down the aisle is the closest thing to walking down the red carpet for many women, and so she launched a bridal styling vertical of her business in 2019. For her first collection of bridal jewelry, Forevermark diamonds set in platinum were a natural fit.

“Over the years, I have counted on Forevermark to deliver the most exquisite diamonds for the most memorable occasions for my clients,” said Erlanger of her affinity for the responsibly sourced diamond brand. She continues, “While diamonds are incredibly important at a big award show they are even more so on your wedding day; you want to choose something that is personal, that is ‘authentically you’ and that symbolizes your commitment of forever.”

Forevermark and Erlanger chose to design the collection exclusively in platinum because the most rare, beautiful Forevermark diamonds deserve to be set in the most precious, radiant metal. “Platinum is incredibly durable, so it’s ideal for everyday wear, and its naturally white, luminous finish perfectly highlights a Forevermark diamond’s brilliance,” said Erlanger, whose own engagement ring is set in platinum.

The Forevermark x Micaela collection will be available exclusively through participating Forevermark Authorized Jewelers and is slated to launch in summer 2020.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
