IT’S ONE THING to take on a challenging or unusual custom job.

It’s another thing to actually get it done!

In his new “Over the Counter,” fourth-generation jeweler Kyle Bullock of Bullock’s Jewelry in Roswell, NM, tells the stories of inspirational and/or memorable jewelry sales. In this episode, Kyle tells the story one of the most unusual, and meaningful, sales ever made by Jim Saylor of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kauai, HI.

Saylor has agreed to sketch a custom ring design for a couple who can’t see the design. Now he frantically wonders how to complete the job when his normal planning process — sitting down with the couple and sketching ideas in front of them — won’t work.

Listen to a 47-second excerpt above, or hear the full episode below.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
