PEARL JEWELRY WAS already enjoying a moderate rise in popularity when Kamala Harris chose pearls as the signature accessory for her history-making rise to vice president. The lovely, ladylike pearl took on fresh luster as it appeared again and again behind podiums of power. When women of all ages bedecked themselves in pearls to honor Harris’ inauguration, it became clear that we were truly at the dawn of a new age for the pearl.

Pearl jewelry by Moritz Glik enclosed in white sapphire “kaleidoscope shakers” includes Concha pearl ring with freshwater pearls in 18K rose gold, $1,900; Concha pearl pendant with freshwater pearls in 18K rose gold, $2,600; Mar 24 necklace with Akoya and South Sea keshi pearls in 18K yellow gold, $4,200; and Mar 34 necklace with Tahitian keshi and South Sea keshi pearls in 18K yellow gold, $5,300.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
