[h3]”As a rule, you are supposed to spend two or three months’ salary on an engagement ring. It’s supposed to hurt a bit — it shows commitment!” [/h3]

Harriet Kelsall from Harriet Kelsall Jewellery Design in the U.K. explaining the two-months’ salary rule to a customer.

We saw this quote on the Rapaport Tradewire and thought it was a pretty good way of responding to someone who asks about how much to spend. It acknowledges the pain, while at the same time smooths the way for a high-ticket purchase. De Beers would be proud.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
