A few weeks ago, Frederick Goldman and Karl Lagerfeld signed a licensing deal, calling for Lagerfeld to produce a bridal jewelry collection for distribution in the U.S., which would then be introduced at the JCK Luxury show this week. Speaking with Vogue, the German designer said “it was kind of a challenge” to produce the collection, which features engagement rings aimed at millennials. The article says there are three collections; each one in the collections is offered 18-karat white and yellow gold, as well as platinum, and prices range from $1,000 to $10,000.

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.”
