Adeler Jewelers, Great Falls, VA

Jorge Adeler built his reputation for creative and exquisite design, showcasing unique stones, exotic pearls and ancient coins, for retail clients in the DC area, as well as for the red carpet. Adeler and his family once owned seven retail locations but in 2001 decided to turn their attention to the flagship store in Great Falls, VA, featuring Adeler’s designs, which are handcrafted on site by gold- and platinumsmiths. In May, Adeler also launched a collection at the Couture show in Las Vegas, marking the debut of his wholesale division.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
