THE BIG SURVEY 2017

We had two primary objectives with this year’s Big Survey: to gain fresh insights into what it means to be an American jeweler in 2017, and, given it’s been 10 years since our first such survey, to determine how far jewelers have traveled professionally since 2007. The findings were fascinating. In some areas, it’s as if time hadn’t moved, while in others the changes have been profound. We hope you enjoy the latest installment of this journey as much as we did assembling it.

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.”
