Statement diamond slice earrings in 14K yellow gold with bezel set white diamonds and baguette diamonds (1.84 TCW), $3,590

ZDENA JIROUTOVA:

These earrings have a serene, radiant quality that centers on beautiful irregularities and imperfect shapes found in nature. I would love to wear these for an outdoor summer fundraiser, held in a winery shaded by mature oak trees … cheers!

LAURA KITSOS:

I love the combination of the organic diamond slices alongside the geometric baguette diamonds. These earrings look so light and airy to wear yet have a huge impact style wise!

ANTHONY DEMARCO:

These earrings represent exceptional craftsmanship and choice of material. Particularly with the use of diamond slices.

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.”
