(PRESS RELEASE) A few months ago, The Getty Museum contacted Barbara Ross-Innamortii, founder and creative director of Evocateur, with a special request. They wanted her to create custom jewelry designs for one of their paintings – Irises by Vincent Van Gogh.

“We were thrilled,” says Ross-Innamorati. “Not only were we honored to have been chosen by The Getty but even more excited about working with such an iconic piece of art.” Evocateur designed eight pieces — four earrings, two necklaces, one cuff and one bangle that elegantly combine the Van Gogh art with 22k gold leaf. Like all Evocateur jewelry each piece took up to seven days to create and was handcrafted in the Company’s CT studio.

These pieces are sold in the museum’s gift store and have had excellent sell-through “The Getty museum store also sells two designs we created from artwork by Georg Hoefnagel, a 16th century Flemish painter,” adds Ross-Innamorati “our Dragonfly Garden cuff necklace and earrings and our Pink Tulip cuff.”

Evocateur jewelry is truly a colorful celebration of art and fashion.

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.”
