INSTORE Design Awards 2021 – Best Necklace Over $5,000

Shy Creation

Link necklace with a diamond and blue sapphire encrusted large evil eye medallion, $5,490

CLAUDIA MATA:

Love the thick gold chain link and the creative evil-eye design. I want to wear this every day!

DANA FRIEDMAN:

This piece is on BRAND. Evil eyes are HOT HOT HOT and the Miami Cuban link is very current.

MARK TAPPER:

I love the daintiness of the evil eye charm and pavé circle meshed with the ruggedness and heft of the Cuban link. Charms, especially evil eyes, are right on trend this year!

It Was Time to Make a Decision. It Was Time to Call Wilkerson.

Except for a few years when he worked as an accountant, Jim Schwartz has always been a jeweler. He grew up in the business and after “counting beans” for a few years, he and his wife, Robin, opened Robin James Jewelers in Cincinnati, Ohio. “We were coming to a stage in our life where we knew we have to make a decision,” says Jim Schwartz. He and Robin wanted to do it right, so they called Wilkerson. The best surprise (besides surpassing sales goals)? “The workers and associations really care about helping us move out own inventory out of the store first. It was very important to us.”
