A feel-good story captured on security cameras.

An act of kindness from a Texas jewelry store employee was captured on the shop’s surveillance cameras when he decided to help a distraught customer, as CBS Dallas-Fort Worth writes. The article says that a woman walked into the store wanting to sell a gold necklace that her mother had given her, saying she needed the money to pay bills. Noticing tears in her eyes, the employee – whose name is Noah, but didn’t want his last name used in the news story – instead reached into his own pockets, gave her the money she needed and let her keep the necklace.

“I let her tell me how much she wanted to sell it and I gave her exactly what money she wanted,” Noah told the news outlet. “I didn’t think about it, I just grabbed the money. I grabbed the money and gave it to her.”

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.”
