Expect lots of diamonds.

Following a successful collaboration between Swiss jeweler de Grisogono and Samsung, the two companies will again team up to create a “super-luxury” Gear S3 smart watch, the Korea Herald reports. The article says that de Grisogono helped create the diamond-studded Gear S2 watch, which was released last month with a $15,000 price tag and boasting “more than 100 black and white diamonds, a rose gold bezel and the Swiss watchmaker’s signature black galuchat strap.” Industry watchers, the article adds, tentatively expect the watch to debut at Baselworld 2017.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
