CLAUDIA MATA:

I love the delicate details on the inside of this band, and the interior is just as magnificent as the exterior—no detail was left untouched.

DANA FRIEDMAN:

Love the engineering behind this design. Pavé work looks beautiful, and lastly, the play of color with the pink gold with red is striking!!

MARK TAPPER:

I really love the symmetry of this ring and the fact that it’s expandable gives tremendous versatility to the client allowing them to wear it on a variety of fingers. Lastly, the contrast between the rose gold, diamonds, and rubies really make this ring pop!

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.”
