Todd Wasylyshyn is a jewelry industry sales rep, with a beat that includes Western Canada. He is also pretty insightful and sometimes hilarious. Here, we bring you his reasonably musical rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and his remake of the Beatles “Let It Be”, called “Let It Be (Flawless D)”.
Let’s start with Todd’s “Imagine” remake. According to Todd, it was written “for jewellery retailers out there who can only imagine a beautiful world without sales reps, Pandora or cheapskates!”
In “Let It Be (Flawless D)”, Todd somewhat tunefully examines the issues of diamond selling, Internet diamonds and diamond grading.
Have you ears stopped ringing yet? If not, you should probably call a doctor. If so, and you’re ready for more Todd, take a gander at his blog (The ToddWaz Report), his YouTube channel, and his Facebook page.

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."
