As we were inspecting a beautiful diamond wedding ring, the client told us that it had traveled a lot — like through her intestines! She had put the ring in her pillbox so the cats wouldn’t mess with it, and accidentally swallowed it in the morning. Took three weeks to “appear.” Needless to say, we hand-sanitized right afterwards. — Beth Cevasco, Scott’s Custom Jewelers, Fairlawn, OH

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.”
