(PRESS RELEASE) NEENAH, WI — Jewelers Mutual Group, along with jewelers who sold JM Care Plan in October, raised a total of $4,571 for the Jewelers for Children (JFC) organization. Every care plan sold throughout the month was a donation to support children in need.
“We are ecstatic to be part of this contribution to Jewelers for Children and we couldn’t have done it without jewelers’ support,” said Nabil Abdallah, Jewelers Mutual Group vice president of business development. “Organizations like Jewelers for Children enhance the jewelry community and we’re happy to help in any way we can.”
Watch a special video message of appreciation sent to jewelers selling JM Care Plan below:
JFC is an organization founded by the U.S. jewelry industry to benefit children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse or neglect through its charity partners—St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish America, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the National CASA Association.
According to Abdallah, offering JM Care Plan with jewelry and watch purchases is a choice many jewelers are making during this challenging year to help grow their business, attract new customers and gain additional revenue.

“JM Care Plan gives jewelers a way to make their business stand out and extend their service beyond the jewelry sale,” Abdallah said. “This special promotion gave jewelers a chance to show their customers they care about offering meaningful products that give back, too.”
Each three-year and lifetime jewelry and three-year watch plan goes beyond a typical manufacturer’s warranty to protect items from damage and keep each piece in like-new condition. Jewelers who are interested in selling care plans can contact [email protected] to get started.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson
When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren.
For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
"Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful."
The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing."
Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
