JULIA HACKMAN-CHAFE:

There’s nothing I love more than a nice chunky sapphire, except when it’s set in platinum — even better!

JULIE PHILLIPS ROBERTS:

This is a perfect combination of gemmy color and diamond detail.

DIANE GARMENDIA:

I can’t decide if I want to dive into this luscious stone or eat it! Love the contrast of the huge sapphire with the petite diamonds.

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.”
