He doesn’t have a store, and he’s very particular about his client consultations.

From Harvard Business School to one of the country’s premier financial consulting firms and now to his own luxury jewelry business, Zameer Kassam is becoming the go-to jeweler for the wealthy Wall Street set, as the New York Post writes.

The article explains that Kassam, who launched his business in 2012, doesn’t have a store, instead opting to “meet in person with his clients in swanky hotel lobbies — never a person’s home or office though — or in his Midtown Manhattan design studio.” He also requires that they conduct their consultations solo. But when business is done, he’s happy to go above and beyond for his upscale clients, such as when he threw a sizeable cocktail party for one satisfied customer.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
