Line Time: Two-Months’ Salary Rule

[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.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
