THERE IS NOTHING like a British royal wedding to start a trend, and Princess Beatrice’s nuptials had all the appropriate jewels—a legendary tiara, an engagement ring and wedding band designed by visionary Shaun Leane, and delicate yellow gold bracelets. These bracelets were not your conventional royal jewels; they were styles that your customers could wear every day (and Beatrice probably does). By wearing them to her wedding, Beatrice personalized her entire look. We predict they start a trend for dainty, lightweight bracelets that are accessibly priced and easy to wear, which is important with gold being up and the future uncertain.

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.”
