22K yellow gold Tahitian pistachio pearl (untreated) with brown diamonds (7.33 TCW), $52,000
katerina perez:
I find this color palette of Tahitian pearls, brown diamonds and yellow gold a lovely departure from the classic white pearl designs.
rada sahney:
A contemporary way to bring pearls and diamonds together, over a traditional linear drop style. The brown diamonds bring out the warmth in the pistachio pearls, and these earrings bring a touch of the old world to the modern day.
debbie klein:
The combination of the Tahitian pearls with the cognac diamonds is absolutely striking. It’s a complex design, but looks so understated that it truly showcases the contrast of color and texture between the pearls and stones.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
