(PRESS RELEASE) ERLANGER, KY — Jewel-Craft, the industry leader in jewelry manufacture and repair, has won the 2022 RJO Vendor of the Year Award for Service/Speciality Goods. This marks the fourth time that the company has won the RJO Vendor of the Year Award. Previously, Jewel-Craft received the award in 2009, 2019 and 2021.

For 75 years, Jewel-Craft has provided top-tier service in everything from jewelry manufacturing to custom design and beyond. In 1947, Earl Wesdorp founded the company in his small garage attic. He started with a pinch of money, some old tools and a heap of passion for serving his customers. Today, the third and fourth generations of the Wesdorp family continue the Jewel-Craft legacy.

Though the company has grown and flourished over the years, one thing has remained constant: the love of jewelry. Every single day, the team at Jewel-Craft adores honoring, preserving and sharing the craft of jewelry. Through their comprehensive services, Jewel-Craft can restore a piece’s radiant shine, create something magical from scratch, add a small but meaningful personal touch and more.

“It’s such an honor to receive this award for the third time in four years,” said Nick Wesdorp, senior director of administration. “I’m blown away that we’ve won it four times in total. Of course, we couldn’t have done it without the support of our customers, partners and especially our amazing employees, aka, the Pit Crew! They’re the absolute best in the business.”

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
