(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – Royal Chain Group, the leading supplier of gold chains and finished jewelry, is celebrating its 40^th anniversary in 2018. Founded in 1978, the company has grown leaps and bounds since its humble beginnings as a small gold chain supplier in a one-room office in New York’s jewelry district. Today, Royal Chain’s portfolio of products includes not only gold chains, but also finished gold jewelry, sterling silver, alternative metal jewelry, and the nationally recognized brand, Phillip Gavriel. Paul Maroof, the founding father and current president of the company, has kept the company family-owned and operated since conception. The company maintains one of the strongest footholds in the jewelry industry and most predominantly as a supplier of gold.

“This is a historic milestone for me, and I think for our industry in general. With so much fallout in our sector over the last decade, I am so proud of what we have achieved. I have built a company based on the core values of trust and respect, and look forward to continuing this philosophy for many years to come,” says Paul Maroof.

Royal Chain Group attributes most of their growth and continued success to the loyalty and trust placed in them by their incredible network of retailers, and their continuing evolution on every level. They are proud members of several organizations within the industry and continue to support numerous philanthropic organizations. They also were recently approved as a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council.

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.”
