Here’s the Perfect Line for Selling a Diamond’s Longevity and Value

“You know, they’re probably the oldest thing any of us will ever touch.”

When to say it: When handing a diamond to a young bridal couple to examine.

Why say it: Because it reinforces what’s special about diamonds: the great journey they have made from the depths of the earth, their rarity and value, as well the idea of longevity. It’s not every day you pick up something that was three billion years in the making.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
