A jewelry company gets political.
Tiffany & Co. has written an open letter to President Donald Trump on climate change.
In a message published on social media and as an advertisement in The New York Times, the company wrote:
We’re still in for bold climate action. Please keep the US in the Paris Climate Agreement. The disaster of climate change is too real, and the threat to our planet and to our children is too great.
By Wednesday afternoon, the company’s Facebook post with the letter had generated 19,000 reactions, 2,126 shares and 593 comments.
Reactions to the post were mixed, with some Facebook users saying the company should stay out of politics.
One user wrote: “It is incredibly nearsighted when companies needlessly feel the need to preach, thereby cutting off half of their customers. Stick to what you do well, which is make beautiful, if not overpriced jewelry. Goodbye Tiffany.”

But others congratulated Tiffany for taking a stand. One comment read: “Climate change is so much above politics and jewelry! Not only Tiffany, every single brand should be joining this conversation.”
Fortune reports that Trump has “promised to announce his decision on whether to remain in the pact before a G7 summit in Sicily at the end of May.”
Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
