(PRESS RELEASE) DALLAS, TX — Sylvie announces the addition of Natalie Aguirre as its new Western Region Territory Manager. Natalie has over 30 years of luxury goods experience, as well as a rich perspective given her background working with artisanal brands and luxury goods on both the wholesale and retail side.

She previously spent 6 years at Coach and 12 years at Louis Vuitton in various sales and management roles across the Western United States. After her time at Louis Vuitton, she served as Area Sales Director for Links of London, a fine jewelry brand with a global presence in Europe, North America, Asia and online.

We believe this addition will help us continue to grow in the Western US, and ultimately, will equip our Western region retailers with an incredibly savvy growth partner.”

Natalie says, “I am very excited to be part of Sylvie as I admire the uniquely youthful and feminine designs, the interesting origin story and that it is a woman-led company. This is an incredible opportunity to help grow the footprint of Sylvie in the Western United States.” Natalie’s background has helped the previous brands she has worked with see major growth in sales, brand awareness and a deeply loyal client base.

Sylvie has been ranked a Top Jewelry Brand by Instore Magazine’s Big Survey for three consecutive years, most notably in the Top 5 for the last two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021.

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.”
