A creative outlet turns into a big break.

Margaux Jones, a single mother living in Seattle who began making jewelry as an after-work hobby, has been asked to contribute her creations to the Grammy Awards, MyNorthwest.com writes. According to the article, Jones is in the process of crafting 150 cuff bracelets featuring her drawings and designs that will be included in the gift bags given to all the Grammy performers, nominees and presenters. She hopes that this catalyzes her jewelry brand, NW 58th St., so that she can quit her day job someday. “When you’re on the right path, when you’re doing the thing you’re supposed to do in life, it will happen for you. It may not happen right away, but it’s happening now, and you [just have to be] patient. I’m in awe!,” she says.

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.”
