TRUTH BE TOLD, clients can make some extremely sketchy choices with their jewelry.

In this excerpt from the latest episode of Over the Counter, host Kyle Bullock talks with one of his team members about a jewelry piece that has arrived in their shop for repair. Neither can believe that it’s a finished design, or that the customer was wearing it as presented. Laughing, Kyle describes the item as “an illusion head, with some giant prongs over the side of it to give it the illusion of being bigger”.

Hear more about this misfit jewelry design above. Or catch the full podcast 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.”
