She Didn’t Believe It Was Her Diamond, But Her Husband Made a Good Point

I worked on a ladies ring with a 1-carat diamond. It was very dirty. I cleaned the item, repaired the prongs, and when she returned, she promptly said that it was not her diamond because her diamond had a large dark spot in the center and the one I returned did not. Her husband asked her why would I take out hers and return a better one than what she had. She was not satisfied and I didn’t have anything to say as the two argued. He apologized. I never heard from them again. Told anonymously to INSTORE’s Big Survey, 2016

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.”
