Net-A-Porter becomes only online site to sell Tiffany designs.

Tiffany & Co. will sell its jewelry on fashion retail site Net-A-Porter, the two companies announced. The release says that Tiffany jewelry will be made available on Net-A-Porter beginning April 27 for “a limited time,” and that the site will be the only authorized online retailer beyond Tiffany’s own channels to carry the luxury jeweler’s designs. An edited assortment of the Tiffany T collection will be the first designs made available.

In a statement announcing the deal, Philippe Galtie, senior vice president of international sales at Tiffany & Co, said: “Founded in New York, Tiffany has been a renowned house of luxury for 179 years, and brand collaborations with innovative businesses like Net-A-Porter help ensure that Tiffany’s timeless designs reach a new generation of customers, wherever they are. With their recognized edit and fashion authority, Net-A-Porter will re-introduce Tiffany as more than the legendary jeweler, but an expression of personal style.”

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.”
