dan moyer:
Beautiful ring; I like very much the unique design lines and mix of stone shapes.
danielle miele:
Mind-blowing! I’m a sucker for emeralds, and then I’m just speechless over the marquise as accent stones. I need to see this one in person!!
cindy lewis:
This ring is a combination of classic and feminine at the same time. The use of oval or marquise diamonds is clever. The diamonds underneath the basket are for the customer to appreciate when she puts her hand on the steering wheel.

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.
