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.

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.”
