(PRESS RELEASE) ATLANTA, GA — The jewelry industry has changed dramatically in the past three decades, and one company has worked to keep pace. “We are always looking for new ways to serve the needs of our retail partners,” shares founder Anish Desai. Now, the company is launching a new line that is the first of its kind, ‘Top 100 Designs’.

‘Top 100 Designs’ provides retailers with the opportunity to offer today’s most popular solitaires, anniversary bands, and stylish bands with no up-front investment. Customers will have the opportunity to try on these pieces from an attractive display that doesn’t have to take up any space in the jeweler’s display cases and then select their metals and gemstones using a modern interactive website that’s branded to match the retailer’s aesthetic.

“This is a game-changer,” shares Tiffany Bayley, owner of Avalon Park Jewelers. She is one of StarGems’ over 2,000 retail partners and an early adopter of the ‘Top 100 Designs’ program. “Now, business owners like me can offer customers these hand-picked offerings from over 100,000 CADs for their clients without investing in the inventory upfront,” she adds.

“Star Gems stands apart from any other manufacturer because we don’t just offer high-quality jewelry to our suppliers – we also offer them innovation,” said Desai. Jewelers interested in becoming a ‘Top 100 Designs’ Retailer can register at the company website, here. The company will be onboarding just twenty new retailers per month and the waiting list is already several months long.

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.”
