The sure thing is the Casio G-Shock. Anyone that has any kind of urban clientele needs to have these watches. Rap and hip hop stars are being seen everywhere with them on. I am selling them to customers who told time only on their cell phones before. — Jeff Cody; Times At Hand, Wilmington, NC

Zable beads were huge, as were Expression bracelets by Bernard’s. — Mark Snyder; Snyder Jewelers, Weymouth, MA

We did very well with Chamilia and sold several color pieces from Livingstone. — Robert Sirois; Classique Jewelers, Frisco, TX

Beads and charms — specifically we refilled our Rembrandt display. What a difference! — Danielle Fritz; Centerville Coin & Jewelry Connection, Dayton, OH

Cortez pearls set in custom mountings. These are truly rare, as opposed to common diamonds and colored stones. The harvest is fewer than 500 pearls per year for the entire world market, so it is a wonderful, exclusive niche. — Elizabeth Breon; Coast Jewelers, Florence, OR

Galatea did very well for us during Mother’s Day, especially in the $300 to $600 range. — Rick Morgan; Morgan Brothers, Portsmouth, OH

Elyssa Bass was a vendor we added during the Smart Show in Chicago. It has been flying out the door! We literally can’t keep it in stock! — Lee Krombholz; Krombholz Jewelers, Cincinnati, OH

Pandora … That’s pretty much what we do now … sell Pandora. — Christine Graichen; Malloves Jewelers, Middletown, CT

Chinese freshwater pearls. The 6-foot ropes of pearls are fun to wrap and layer! — Angela Doering; JC Jewelers, Jackson, WY
Kameleon jewelry has been the best volume line. — Joe Prewett; Southern Hills Jewelry, West Plains, MO

After 139 Years, A Family Legacy Finds Its Perfect Exit With Wilkerson.

When third-generation jeweler Sam Sipe and his wife Laura decided to close Indianapolis’ historic J.C. Sipe Jewelers, they turned to Wilkerson to handle their retirement sale. “The conditions were right,” Sam explains of their decision to close the 139-year-old business. Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
