(Press Release) LovePendants, a startup engraved gemstone company, announced the launch of its turnkey display selling system for retail jewelers. Starting at $1,995, the in-store system includes a display with uniquely engraved best-selling charms, available with a Swarovski crystal or natural gemstone assortment. Also included are pendant chains, charm bracelets and connectors – making it easy to build single or multi charm jewelry in the store. Elegant gift sleeves and care card for each purchase are part of the supplies stored in a hidden drawer underneath the display. The selling system launch is scheduled for this year’s JCK show.
All display packages include a free e-commerce affiliate website with a full range of customizable charms that is accessed from within the store’s website. When opened the site will show LovePendants at “store’s name” and a back button to the store’s website.
Consumers can build and order their own charm bracelet or pendant 24/7 and the store earns the profits.
The hundreds of designs range from initials and the zodiac to wildlife, dogs, awareness ribbons, popular symbols and more. Gemstones include blue and white topaz, citrine, amethyst and green quartz. Swarovski crystals are offered in similar colors. All charms are custom cut using LovePendants patent pending “parallel mirrored symmetry” resulting in unique refractions and brilliance.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson
When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren.
For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
"Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful."
The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing."
Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
