*Brands mentioned by at least two of 147 Brain Squad respondents.

  • Roberto Coin did very well for us, especially the Verona collection bangles. — Mimi Sohl, Mimi Et Cie, Pasadena, CA
  • Custom and repairs made January a record breaker! BIG diamonds from Dia-Gems, E.M Trading and Olympian Diamonds created serious revenue. — Denise Oros, Linnea Jewelers, La Grange, IL
  • Uno de 50 and Ania Haie are rocking it for our self-purchasing customers. — Karen Hollis, K. Hollis Jewelers, Batavia, IL
  • Best-selling products this January were a lot of classic staples like diamond bands (stackable and anniversary) and diamond studs. — Becky Bettencourt, Blue River Diamonds, Peabody, MA
  • Diamond studs in all sizes were big for gift items. Yellow gold is coming back — we find that Gabriel & Co’s yellow gold fashion line was/is big for self-purchasers. — Shari Altman, B & E Jewelers, Southampton, PA
  • We marketed a ring reset event, so Tacori, Fana, Sylvie Collection — new year, new you. — Christina Baribault-Ortiz, Baribault Jewelers, Glastonbury, CT
  • Arya’s Collection gold and diamond jewelry. Custom-made jewelry with lab-grown diamonds from Stuller. — Frank Salinardi, Linardi’s Jewelers, Plantation, FL
  • Earrings, all kinds. And lots of pearls. — Sherrie Schilling-Devaney, Sherrie’s Jewelry Box, Tigard, OR
  • Diamond earrings, all purchased by ladies buying for themselves, were a hit in January. Thanks go to Stuller for their quick turnaround time for supplies; I would have lost a great sale without their professionalism. — James Doggett, Doggett Jewelry, Kingston, NH
  • Custom alternative bridal, primarily color. I think it’s strong because people want something different and uniquely their own. — David Phelps, John David Jewelers, Durham, NC
  • Honestly, 3-plus carat diamonds were the best sellers along with custom work. — Garrett Karmazin, Darold’s Jewelers, Lincoln, NE
  • We sold diamond bridal rings from Ostybe and Allison-Kaufman, diamond bands to match engagement rings, and men’s wedding bands. — Annette Kinzie, Leonard Jewelry, Stillwater, OK
  • Special-order engagement rings with lab-grown centers and melee have seen a positive uptick. The mountings have been coming from Stuller Matrix and CounterSketch and Luminar Creations. I have sold several remounts using Ostbye’s NE43 and NE 43XL and bead and bright-cutting in the customers’ mixed centers and melee. Repairs are holding up well also. — Edwin Menk, E.L. Menk Jewelers, Brainerd, MN
  • Clearance and closeouts, lab-grown diamonds, CAD/CAM and repairs. People seem to have money to spend and they don’t go to restaurants as often. — Steve Swan, Swan Ltd. Jewelers, Lake City, MN
  • Engagement and wedding bands from Noam Carver and CrownRing! — Karen Edney, Midwest Jewelers & Estate Buyers, Zionsville, IN
  • Sylvie Collection bridal continues to do well, along with lots of custom and restyling (take this pile of junk and make something I will wear!). — Doreen Vashlishan, Werkheiser Jewelers, Bethlehem, PA

Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”
