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.

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

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
