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.

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.

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.
