INSTORE Design Awards 2021 – Platinum Jewelry

Marisa Perry Atelier (First Place and Retailer’s Choice)

Deco Dream ring in platinum featuring 2.51-carat emerald cut diamond with 12 hand-cut baguette diamonds (approx. 4.0 TCW), $45,000

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.

It Was Time to Make a Decision. It Was Time to Call Wilkerson.

Except for a few years when he worked as an accountant, Jim Schwartz has always been a jeweler. He grew up in the business and after “counting beans” for a few years, he and his wife, Robin, opened Robin James Jewelers in Cincinnati, Ohio. “We were coming to a stage in our life where we knew we have to make a decision,” says Jim Schwartz. He and Robin wanted to do it right, so they called Wilkerson. The best surprise (besides surpassing sales goals)? “The workers and associations really care about helping us move out own inventory out of the store first. It was very important to us.”
