She’ll focus on her work at the White House.

Ivanka Trump plans to shut down her fashion brand, which includes jewelery along with clothing, handbags and shoes, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Trump will focus on her role as a senior adviser to her father’s administration, according to the newspaper.

She had felt stymied by restrictions she placed on the company, IT Collections LLC, to avoid possible conflicts of interest while serving in the White House,” according to the Journal. Trump had distanced herself from the 18-employee company’s operations.

Last year, the brand moved away from fine jewelry and toward fashion jewelry. Brand President Abigail Klem said at the time that the move was “part of our company’s commitment to offering solution-oriented products at accessible price points.”

She told the Journal she’s not sure when or if she’ll return to the retail sector.

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.”
