“We just needed our shot.”

Baron Championship Rings in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has released a new video showing how it made the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA Championship rings.

Company officials saw the job as Baron’s big break. As one of them explains in the video, “In the past we’ve had a shot at some important rings. Our designs were always the best, but we were often turned down based on our unknown nature against the big boys.”

The design process for such elaborate rings is no simple matter. As Gizmodo explains, “there’s 3D printing, cool flames, light hammering, and a whole lot of detail involved.”

Fortunately, the rings turned out just right.

“We always stayed hungry knowing we just needed our shot,” the official said.

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.”
