It launched in a handful of stores, including Neiman Marcus.

Queelin, a Hong Kong-based jewelry brand founded by Dennis Chan in 2004, has made its way to the U.S. and debuted in several Neiman Marcus locations as well as a few other notable stores in California, writes Robb Report. The label’s expansion, the article explains, comes three years after it achieved success in China and Paris, prompting French luxury goods company Kering to buy a majority stake in the company. This is also the first time that Queelin’s offerings will be sold outside of its own stores. The brand offers 12 themed collections as well as watches and accessories.

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.”
