True Tales: The Sinking of the Cleavage

Published

on

One of our salespeople came to my wife Linda saying she needed help with a client. She simply could not convince the client that her pearl necklace, which we had just restrung, was the same length it used to be. She was a nicely dressed, attractive, middle-aged woman. She was not being unpleasant, but she was absolutely sure something was wrong. My wife quickly learned that the client was sure her pearls were shorter because she remembered distinctly that when she first got the pearls, they came to the top of her cleavage. Linda thought for a moment and asked, “And how long ago was that?” The woman thought for a second, and then said “Oh, my God, you’re right!” And they both had a good laugh.

Windsor Jewelers: Building for Tomorrow with Wilkerson

After 43 years in the jewelry industry, Windsor Jewelers' President Rob Simon knows the value of trusted partnerships. When planning a store expansion in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he turned to Wilkerson to transform existing inventory into construction capital. "There have been very few companies I've dealt with that I totally trust," Simon shares. "Wilkerson understands their success is 100% based on your success." The partnership enabled Windsor to fund new showcases and construction while maintaining their position as their community's premier jeweler. For Simon, the choice was clear: "Over the years, I've been abused in every direction there is by different people in this industry, so I know what to avoid. One company not to avoid is Wilkerson."
