(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – Just in time for the holiday season, Lark & Berry is set to release a decorative, 24-day advent calendar featuring the brand’s exclusive curated ear-piercing collection that uses only cultured (never-mined) diamonds and stones. The advent calendar box includes 24 piercing items and most-loved pieces including the Veto Sapphire Crescent Labret and other studs, labrets and hoops – all set for any ear-piercing fanatic and their friends.
The box is valued at £8,950 and the Lark & Berry Curated Ear-Piercing Advent Calendar releases Monday, October 5th, 2020 which will be available on the brand’s website at www.larkandberry.com. The Lark & Berry Curated Ear-Piercing Advent Calendar is made of recycled materials and is modelled after Lark & Berry’s flagship brick and mortar store at 52a George Street, Marylebone.
“In our short history, Lark & Berry has been proud to be the “first” several times over now – the first exclusively cultured, designer jewellery brand, the first cultured diamonds worn at the Met Gala in 2019, the first cultured diamonds necklace on an Oscars’ opening performance, and more. So, we wanted to break boundaries again by being the first brand to have a beautiful, surprise advent calendar collection of fine jewellery piercings, the world’s first of its kind featuring stones much more environmentally responsible than mined ones.” said Laura Chavez, Lark & Berry founder.
Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
