Two of the jewelry industry’s oldest and most respected men’s jewelry names have been given new life by the acquisition of Legere and Lindsay & Co. by Boston-based Kelly Waters. After generations of ownership, the Arenburg family has turned over the reins to Kelly Waters, one of the country’s leading suppliers of women’s and men’s jewelry.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to revitalize two great brands,” says Ed Waters, CEO of Kelly Waters. “We, like the previous owners, are a family-owned business. Founded in 1962 by our parents, the Company today is owned by me and my brother, Jack.”

Kelly Waters’ plans include a greatly enhanced product selection, an updated and easy-to-use website, improved delivery and proactive customer support. “We see an increased demand for men’s jewelry,” says Waters, “and we plan to be a major player in this resurgence.”

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
