18K yellow gold pendant engraved with the mantra “Be the Light” features a diamond (.095 TCW) and yellow, orange, and pink sapphires with diamond-set bale, $4,350
ZDENA JIROUTOVA:
This symbol of radiance, strength and vitality invites the wearer to connect with her or his inner light. The sunny and joyful arrangement of gold, sapphires and diamonds stands out when worn on its own, and also invites to be layered with other gemstones and chains.
ANTHONY DEMARCO:
Bright, sunny and colorful yellow gold pendant that sends a positive message while shining a bright and bold light on the wearer.
LAURA KITSOS:
I am a huge fan of sapphires in all colors, and when alongside 18K gold, that’s a winning combination! This pendant is a beauty, and I especially love the meaning behind it, too!

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson
When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy.
Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision."
The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
