18K yellow recycled Fair Trade gold ring with sapphires.

Creative Casting

Pioneering jewelry brand Rigby Leigh truly thought outside the box when it came time to distinguish their brand from the rest. The Brooklyn-based designer uses specially designed hand-carved wood molds for jewelry casting. The process is very low-waste and results in jewels with a fascinating, unique texture.

Sterling silver earrings with 18K yellow gold.

Recycled and Ravishing

Leia Zumbro Jewelry is environmentally friendly and organically inspired; her designs look almost like something that grew rather than something that was forged, with lines and shadows that call to mind fascinating rock formations and the enthralling unevenness of old forest growth.

Smart and Sexy

LAGOS’ Smart Caviar Collection is the first fine jewelry bracelet made specifically for the Apple Watch. Stylish but versatile, the collection’s latest expansion offers beautiful rose gold styles. Finally, a way to make this cutting-edge tech device as stylish as it is useful.

Tantalizing Twists

The Entwine Collection from British brand Kit Heath is a fantastic example of why this designer jewelry line is so successful. The bold and luxurious Entwine designs are tactile, beautifully flowing pieces. Each section of the collection’s hero statement chain has been individually cast and linked, making it as comfortable to wear as it is striking.

Freshwater pearl necklace on silk with 18K and 22K yellow gold and ball bearings.

Industrial Icon

Kate Eickelberg’s jewelry combines the organic and the industrial to create unexpected beauty. This dichotomy is perhaps best represented by her fascinating takes on the classic pearl necklace, which pairs lustrous pearls with steel ball bearings and gold elements that allow the ball bearings to spin freely in place. A gorgeous symphony of opposites.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
