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.”

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
