THE CELEBRITIES ATTENDING the always-glamorous Cannes Film Festival were seeing and being seen in the color green. Adriana Lima, Helena Bordon, Petra Nemcova, Josephine Skriver and Julianne Moore all wore emeralds in their ears or around their necks. Ever since Angelina Jolie’s appearance in Lorraine Schwartz’s emerald earrings and ring at the 2009 Academy Awards, emerald stunners have brightened up almost every award show. The launch of Gemfields, Muzo and other responsibly -sourced gem companies in collaboration with innovative designers have created a renewed interest in the vivid green that carries meanings of hope and prosperity.

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.”
