Naeem, who has dressed First Lady Michelle Obama over 10 times in the past eight years, also explains the inspiration behind the dress she wore in 2009 to a state dinner with the Prime Minister of India.

Like the first Designer Flash, Naeem gives readers his top 10 tricks of the trade to finding your ideal style. Some of his key tips include adding another layer of sparkle every day and remembering that the bigger the gown, the bigger the jewels.

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.”
