It starts on Oct. 1.
(Press Release) PLANO, TX – The Sylvie Collection, Texas-based designer bridal jewelry brand, announces the upcoming launch of the Pink Pledge Program, a holistic retail and social media initiative to support breast cancer awareness for the month of October.
Kicking off on Oct. 1, the Sylvie Collection will donate 10 percent of all retail sales made through Oct. 31 to National Breast Cancer Foundation, INC. Participating retailers will enter a “pink points” system that recognizes each Sylvie Collection sale completed. The retailer with the most points at the end of the month will be awarded a check for up to $5,000 and a small press event at which they will present the check to their local breast cancer research foundation. Co-op marketing packages will be available to support retailers and will include Facebook ads, Google display ads, blog articles and an optional direct mail piece to be customized for local use.
Additionally, the Sylvie Collection is initiating a social media push targeted toward consumers. For every user who takes the Sylvie Pink Pledge by “liking” or “following” the Sylvie Collection (@sylviecollection) on Facebook or Instagram within the dedicated timeframe, the brand will donate $1 to the charity organization.
A contest to win a 14k white gold pink sapphire and diamond Sylvie Collection band (retail value $815) will also run for the month on www.sylviecollection.com.
“Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in women and raising awareness is vital in the fight against this disease,” says CEO/ Designer Sylvie Levine. “This is an extraordinary year for the Sylvie Collection and I feel very fortunate to be able to organize a comprehensive effort that will ultimately lend support to research towards increased treatment.”
2017 marks the Sylvie Collection’s 10th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the brand premiered 10 new bridal collections as well as its first special edition diamond engagement ring, the “Elita.” Additionally, the Sylvie Collection will launch a re-design of its consumer-facing website this month.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
