Hyde Park Jewelers of Denver, CO, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in grand fashion by performing “40 Acts of Kindness.”

“We would not be here today celebrating this important milestone if it weren’t for the communities we serve in Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Newport Beach,” wrote Michael Pollak, CEO of Hyde Park Jewelers and Traditional Jewelers, in Accent magazine.

The jeweler is chronicling its 40 Acts of Kindness program on Instagram and Twitter at @hpjewels. Among the beneficiaries of the 40 charitable acts will be the Denver Health Foundation/Pena Southwest Clinic, the OCEANA Foundation, and Girls Inc. via the Diamonds Do Good Initiative, according to Sir and Sport.

The business, which today operates seven stores, has been involved in charity efforts throughout its history. Among the organizations it’s been involved with are the Children’s Hospital of Denver, Denver Health Foundation, National Jewish Hospital, the Kempe Foundation and Fresh Start Women’s Foundation.

Hyde Park has also created its own nonprofit foundation called Diamonds in the Rough.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
