Tariq Riaz L.L.C. (First Place and Retailer’s Choice)

Expandable ring in 18K rose gold featuring 208 brilliant cut pave diamonds (VVS1, D-F, 1.68 TCW) and 13 princess cut natural rubies (0.33 TCW), $20,000

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!

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.”
