INSTORE tanzaniteI am the Jay Gatsby of colored gemstones. A humble brown stone from the poorest continent on earth with an odd, almost extra-terrestrial sounding name, I have risen to the point where you can see me regularly on movie stars and millennials looking to express their individualism. A little heat, a lot of polish, the right accent (I’m thinking a cut that brings out my purplish tinge or sapphire-like blue) and a new name — thanks to a meeting with America’s most storied jeweler — helped make me who I am today: a glorious testimony to reinvention.

Who am I?

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.”
