Last Laugh: Jonathan Mervis

[componentheading] About our Joker [/componentheading]

“I like to think I have a sense of humor,” says Jonathan Mervis, a third-generation family jeweler with Mervis Diamond Importers in Washington, DC. “My grandfather, who started our family business, was the master joker and story teller. He is my inspiration in both business and personal life.” After graduating with a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from University of Maryland, Jonathan now works as digital strategist for the family business. With an eye toward innovation and new business development, he is particularly interested in developing an e-commerce revenue stream and leveraging online marketing to drive brick-and-mortar sales.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
