We had an older couple in this week that were in their late 80s. They had been married for 61 years, and she wanted to replace the diamond in the center of her ring because she lost it. They were gonna replace it with a CZ. She asked her husband, “Can I get a real diamond?” And he says, “I love you more than biscuits and gravy.” And she says, “And he loves biscuits and gravy a lot.” We all enjoyed that. — Dave Fadel, Fadel Enterprises, Bountiful, UT

It’s Going to Set Us Up Very Nicely for Retirement

You’ve worked hard all your life. And if you’re like most jewelers contemplating retirement, you’re hoping that your going-out-of-business sale will add to your nest egg — with minimal complications. That’s exactly what Doug and Jacki Friedrich, fourth-generation owners of Friedrich Jewelers Inc., of Vernon, Conn., experienced when they selected Wilkerson to run their sale. “Jewelers who are contemplating a sale should go with Wilkerson because of their experience,” says Doug. And with financial goals “exceeding expectations,” the couple can now focus on enjoying the next chapter of their lives. “It’s going to set us up very nicely for retirement,” says Jacki. “The money’s coming in and we have no complaints. It’s been wonderful.”
