From its origins as a one-man shop nearly 30 years ago to its 37,500-square foot facility in Brooklyn today, Riva “has become one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of fine jewelry,” serving retailers and design houses, according to a press release. Riva’s services include product design, diamond setting, plating, enameling, chain manufacturing, tube making and polishing.

“Since our inception, Riva was built on the concept of servant leadership,” said Ted Doudak, founder and CEO of Riva. “We have found ourselves at the forefront of jewelry manufacturing by serving and supporting growth in both our customers and our employees. Our new brand represents our expertise in applying precision engineering to the elegance of the jewelry we manufacture, as well as our steadfast commitment to producing jewelry in the USA.”

According to the release, the logo “incorporates dependability and elegance, using the metaphor of a stag.”

“Aligned with the values and guiding principles of Riva Precision Manufacturing, a stag gleans wisdom with the passing of time; it’s growing antlers represent the authenticity, mastery and empowerment of experience,” the release stated. “Tying the aesthetic back to jewelry manufacturing, a diamond is formed from the negative space created between the ten point antlers. The logo reinforces the dependability and master craftsmanship that are the stronghold of the Riva manufacturing brand.”

Riva’s new website, www.rivaprecision.com, has been revamped with a modern parallax design, providing an easy-to-navigate overview of the company’s PD and manufacturing capabilities, as well as its culture and core values. Riva will also present its new look at the MJSA Expo (Booth #130), which runs March 12-14. During the expo, Riva experts will demonstrate product CAD engineering and enameling expertise, exhibiting final design work.

Riva provides full-service, state-of-the-art design and manufacturing services, including product design, diamond setting, plating, enameling, chain manufacturing, tube making and polishing.

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.”
