Kyle Roderick:

A statement ring that speaks volumes of precise cut, rich color, white hot clarity, and COOL carats.

David Johnson:

Unlikely use of step cuts to create a halo that doesn’t take away from the incredibly rare color of the center stone.

Mary Margaret Beaver:

This is a unique and unexpected interpretation of the diamond halo and one that is worthy of the exceptional pink diamond it so beautifully showcases.

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.”
