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.”

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
