AME VAN DYKE:

Love these earrings with different shapes of stones and colors set in a playful yet elegant way.

SMITHA SADANANDAN:

Speckled with colored gems and set in geometric patterns, these earrings have a delightful candyesque appeal and also remind me of fireworks.

JENNY O’CONNOR CALLERI:

With color taking center stage this year, this mix of shapes and festive design lends itself to a nice salable earring.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
