Luxury jeweler targeting the deep-pocketed.

Harry Winston recently opened a new 9,000-square-foot “mega store” in Houston, which is now the luxury jeweler’s largest retail space and exceeds the size of its flagship store in New York, CultureMap Houston writes.

The article says that the store represents the faith that Harry Winston has put in the Houston economy, noting the “collection of mega-priced diamonds, emeralds and rubies that beckon from within the securely locked vitrines.” There’s also a wedding/engagement ring salon in the store that showcases sparklers priced up to $640,000, though a “crossover collection” includes rings in the five-figure range. Additionally, the jeweler offers charms, chains and pendants in “more accessible price points.”

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
