The minimalist studio made six exclusive pieces for the retailer.

Wwake, a New York-based brand that was conceived by Wing Yau, has scored a collaboration with Nordstrom in which the retailer will stock 13 styles and six exclusive pieces, Refinery29 writes. Yau told the fashion website that it’s the first time her jewelry will be carried at a major retailer. “In celebration of this, I wanted to curate something new that would both add a personal touch from myself as a designer, and amount to something even more exciting than our normal collection offers,” she says.

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.”
