True Tales: Moose, Uh, By-Product Jewelry

Published

on

The oddest material I have seen used for jewelry is in Alaska, where some jewelers would sell (and I am not making this up, just reporting an observation) gold-painted moose droppings. They are small so they are strung as a necklace. Tourists loved them and most were appalled or couldn’t stop laughing as they bought several for gifts, Hey, its Alaska! (Frankly, I am jealous … just think of the mark-up!)?

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.”
