Our top seller was our custom designs in 18K, 22K and TruPD. This palladium alloy has been a lifesaver with the high cost of platinum. — Francis Lynch; The Jeweler Studio; Mount Dora, FL

Larger diamond studs and Stuller’s Posh Mommy. — Scott Lescourt; Scottsdale Fine Jewelers, Scottsdale, AZ

Galatea has been a very good seller this spring. — Matthew Pav; Pav & Broome Jewelers, Gulfport, MS

Southern Gates (from the cargo hold) flew out the door for Mother’s Day. We can hardly keep it in stock! — Colby Kicia; Buddy’s Jewelry, Fuquay-Varina, NC

We just started carrying CrownRing’s tungsten line. The first week it was out, we sold three designs. That gets my attention. — Kari Bottenberg-Akers; Akers Diamond Galleria, Topeka, KS

Gabriel & Co. seems to provide lots of nice jewelry, great service and many price points. — Alex Weil; Martin’s Jewelry, Manhattan Beach, CA

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
