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.”

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.”
