We had one customer who sent us this message, wanting an update on her engagement ring: “I promised myself I wouldn’t bother you about my ring’s progress, but I also promised myself to lose weight and stop swearing. Since I just ate almost a whole f#@&ing pecan pie, I figured I’d blow all my resolutions and ask how my beautiful ring is coming along? Hope to hear from you soon, but in the meantime, I hear a chocolate cake calling my name. Sh!t.”
We have another funny customer who would always sign her messages with the following: “Hugs and ass slaps, A.” — Jen Hollywood, J Hollywood Designs, Chester Springs, PA

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.”
