(Press Release) LOS ANGELES – On Saturday, Oct. 21, Team Rahaminov Diamonds participated in the Metric Century ride in Solvang, CA. The team announced that it raised over $60,000 to support Jewelers for Children, exceeding its initial goal of $36,000.

The event kicked off with a breakfast for the riders which began at 8 a.m. All 14 riders made it to the finish line and celebrated together with Casamigos Tequila.

Amir Goldfiner, CEO of Rahaminov Diamonds and team leader, said, “We’re extremely happy to present Jewelers for Children with the money we’ve raised! We know that these funds will touch the lives of many children. I would also like to personally thank Forevermark Diamonds for sponsoring our uniforms and for their generous contribution. We looked fierce! We all trained extremely hard for this ride and I am very proud of what we have accomplished together!”

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
