(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.

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.
