Holly Yashi was one the men were coming in and buying up. — Karen Hollis, K. Hollis Jewelers, Batavia, Il

John Atencio was a great seller for us for Valentine’s Day. — Andrea Riso, Talisman Collection, El Dorado Hills, CA
We sold solitaire earrings over and over. Not sure what happened here. Last week of February I sold 3 TCW, 2 TCW, 1 TCW. Last Friday of the month, I had a customer walk in and buy 1 TCW. Fifteen minutes later a guy walked in and wanted 1 TCW. I was low from Valentine’s Day. Thank goodness the Equity salesman was in the shop, I sold a pair straight from his line. — Julie Brasher, Julie’s Jewels & Gifts, Greenville, SC
February was the month for love. Gabriel & Co. engagement rings with center cushion cut diamonds of 1.0-carat or better and Lashbrook wedding bands led the way. Who says romance is gone? — Scott Kelly, Jems Jewels & Gold, North Wales, PA
“X” statement rings from MMA International, Alex and Ani , Effy fashion jewelry, Pandora rings. — Allison Leitzel-Williams, Leitzel’s Jewelry, Myerstown, PA

Stackable Expressions by Quality Gold are still doing well. It gives the same charm bracelet feel but it’s ring stacking, which is definitely trending! Great price points and options. — Traci Hill, Got Rocks, Harrisonburg, VA
Items in our Valentine mailer from the Berco Company sold very well, which helped make our February 2016 sales the best February ever. — James Sickinger, Sickinger’s Jewelry, Lowell, IN

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
