So Beautiful, They Name Daughters After Me

WE CALL OURSELVES the Women’s League of Extraordinary Gemstones – amber, beryl, jade, opal, pearl and me, covering a glorious range of the gemological spectrum and stunning enough to inspire people to name their daughters (or their beloved cocker spaniel) after us. Yet it is I who shine brightest among them all: the most extraordinary of the lot. The big red one. A cardinal gemstone. Sublime imperfection (in my natural state). Can you hang a name on me?

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.”
