INSTORE Design Awards 2022 – Pearl Jewelry Under $5,000

Karin Jacobson

Sunburst Confetti earrings in 18K recycled gold with 10 mm cultured natural-color light pinkish-peach Chinese freshwater pearls, pear-shape Oregon sunstone (0.72 TCW), and Harmony recycled round and Princess-cut diamonds (0.27 TCW), $2,035

David Brough:

The exquisite color of the pearls greatly enhances the perceived value of these earrings.

Sarah McGuire:

I really like the juxtaposition of the textured bezels against the soft luster of the pearl.

Alexis Padis:

Pearls are a classic wardrobe staple, and these earrings turn “expected” on its head. The materials used are unique and showcase and complement the pinkish-peach pearl hue and I just love the incorporation of sunstone and off-kilter structure that make these unique and modern.

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.”
