Benchmark Rings

14K white gold signet ring with tantalum center Sugar Skull design, $1,200

ZDENA JIROUTOVA:

Modern life is an endless stream of distractions. If one wants to embrace and understand one’s fate, it is useful to be reminded of it by wearing a symbol of death, life and mortality, and more deeply a reminder of our ancient ancestors who are watching over. Both are strategies I highly recommend.

LAURA KITSOS:

I love the skull detail in this ring! Give me a skull design any day for jewelry, but this one with the sugar skull is especially cool!

ANTHONY DEMARCO:

Wonderful use of materials and finishes for this creative and unusual signet ring.

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.”
