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.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
