ZDENA JIROUTOVA:

This beauty is inspired by the French Art Deco period, and the characteristics of Art Deco are clearly seen — heavy geometric influences, triangular shapes, zigzags, trapezoidal shapes, straight and smooth lines, streamlined and sleek forms.

LAURA KITSOS:

Such a sophisticated classic design with the deco detail makes this ring sing!

ANTHONY DEMARCO:

This ring shows that a respectful approach to classic designs can still pay off big with the jewelry loving public.

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.”
