INLAY, A TREND throughout the colorful Mod ‘60s and the freedom and feminist movement of the ‘70s, is reimagined today with a bohemian elegance by both indie and established jewelry designers. Recognized most in Native American jewelry, which was popular during those decades, it has received an artistic makeover that allows faceted gems to be set into opaque stones and different shapes to be featured in one piece of jewelry.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
