Smart Shirt

There’s no arguing with the immortal wisdom of Marilyn Monroe from Gentleman Prefer Blondes: “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” is just as good a slogan today as it was in 1953. A kiss on the hand might be quite continental, but this dictionary style T-shirt lets everyone know that this most sparkly of gems is your true BFF.

Brilliant Box

Kelo Designs’ clever ring boxes have a feature that we’ve never seen before: Instead of a typical lid, this box opens through a mechanical iris with rotating panels, a technique similar to a camera aperture. This unique precision-machined design element is set in the top of a cylindrical anodized aluminum box and makes for the most spectacular ring reveal moment!

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.”
