alysa teichman:

I love when a beautiful stone puts nature front and center. The minimal design work on this necklace lets the stone speak for itself.

jonathan landsberg:

This great piece was one of my favorites. The combination of the earthy tones in the aquaprase and the cognac diamonds set around it is a great look. The use of the rose gold makes the whole piece work. It’s so different and I feel that makes it a much quicker sale, even though it’s over $5,000.

benjamin guttery:

As one of the first designers to use the new gemstone aquaprase, Lika Behar framed the stone in warmth. The champagne diamonds sparkle even more in her “Peach Glow” gold, framing the aquaprase perfectly.

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.”
