Lika Behar Collection (First Place and Retailer’s Choice)
24K and sterling silver Kirsten cuff with freshwater pearls and cognac diamonds (0.12 TCW). $2,390
LAURA KITSOS
I have always been a fan of Lika Behar’s jewelry, and while it’s typically in oxidized silver next to the 24K gold, I love this fresh silver look with the pearls and cognac diamonds. It’s the perfect statement cuff for summer and beyond!
ZDENA JIROUTOVA:
Perfect for an all-white summer outfit and sun-kissed skin. Lovely to wear on an arm that holds a glass of pinot grigio at an outdoor music festival held on a grassy hill overlooking the ocean.
ANTHONY DEMARCO:
Quality design, craftsmanship and use of materials for this cuff.

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.
