“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.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
