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
Engagement rings made our February. Both Tacori and Sylvie . — Michael Rumanoff, Rumanoff’s Fine Jewelry and Design, Hamden, CT

Pendants from Lafonn , Chamilia and Dobbs Boston. — Laurie Cusher, Hyde Park Jeweler, Hyde Park, NY
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

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
