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!

The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson’s hands-off approach let Bonaci step back while the team handled every detail, meeting his personal and financial goals throughout. “It is phenomenal, the success that we’ve had.” Watch Bob share his retirement story.
