(PRESS RELEASE) LAFAYETTE, LA – This week, Stuller, along with thousands of other manufacturers from around the country, opened its doors to motivate and inspire local high school students in celebration of National Manufacturing Day (October 5, 2018).

Over the course of the week, students from Lafayette, Iberia, and St. Martin Parishes toured Stuller’s global headquarters to get a first hand look at jewelry manufacturing. Students were able to see the entire jewelry process from metal fabrication, computer aided design and manufacturing, stone setting, and logistics and distribution.

“I have a passion for sharing my experiences. It’s always rewarding for me to demonstrate what we do here at Stuller in the hopes of inspiring the next jeweler, CAD professional, or leader,” says Jimmy Bernard, executive director of production operations. “They’re our future and we need to nurture their growth to influence them in positive ways.”

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
