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.

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.”
