Metallic shine sparked up the Paris Haute Couture fall/winter 2017/18 catwalks. With influences as diverse as the roaring ‘20s and the disco divas of the ‘70s, the trend is focused on silver, platinum and gunmetal lamé, chiffon and sequins that shimmer with dramatic effect. The same holds true for jewelry. Silver and white metal is definitely having a moment in a variety of crinkled and crushed finishes with subdued diamonds.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
