They’re a merchandising opportunity for retail jewelers.
(Press Release) LovePendants announces the launch of its custom charm service for retailers. LovePendants will design and produce engraved Swarovski crystal charms with enameled symbols important to an individual retailer’s market.
Combined with the in-store and e-commerce selling systems, the charms offer a merchandising opportunity for retail jewelers looking for jewelry that caters to their customer base and differentiates them from their competitors. All charms feature LovePendants’ patent pending parallel mirror symmetry cut that produces an elegant presentation of each symbol or charm.
To launch the service, LovePendants produced a Texas state charm and 50 percent of all sales will be donated to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. The fund is housed at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, a local charity.
Initial response to the customized charm service has been enthusiastic.
Jill Ferrante, co-owner of Park Place Jewelers in Ocean City, MD, stated, “I collaborated with LovePendants in designing a
Pink Marlin pendant for our women’s fishing tournament to benefit breast cancer research. I couldn’t have been happier
with the result – it was gorgeous and sold out right away! We are doing very well with all the LovePendants charms.”
Tom Laurrie, manager of Firth Jewelers in Niagara Falls, NY, said, “LovePendants designed a Niagara Falls charm for our market and we are so delighted with the look of it and the great quality.”

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
