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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
