INSTORE Design Awards 2021 – Colored Stone UNDER $5,000

Karin Jacobson

Diamond Fan drop earrings with opalized wood from Indonesia and G-I color, SI clarity Harmony recycled diamonds (0.10 TCW) in 18K yellow gold and sterling silver, $1,680

PAUL SCHNEIDER:

Nice stones, nice details, great price. They will have great movement when worn and they use my favorite top. The flat oversized prongs and the blackened silver bezel keep it casual and easy to wear.

MELISSA QUICK:

This earring is something I would wear all the time. The beautiful, colorful opalized petrified wood is organic and interesting in all the right ways. The matte finish flower top is feminine and soft and compliments the stones dropped below so nicely.

TANYA DUKES:

You can see how fully and beautifully considered every detail is, from the placement of the prongs to the subtle touches of diamonds. The colors in the drops are so pretty; they combine in a painterly, one-of-a-kind composition and no one will be able to guess what they’re made of.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
