Vibrant Green, Pantone’s Color of the Year, is Everywhere in Jewelry

VIBRANT GREEN, the color that suggests the first sign of spring and was named Pantone Color of the Year for 2017, was seen all over the season’s ready-to-wear runways. A growing trend in everything from tech products to accessories, this fresh hue, which touches on the colors of leaves, grass and lush gardens, evokes rebirth and renewal. In jewelry, we see it firmly planted in the yellow-green gemstone colors of peridot, bright tourmaline and green turquoise.

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.”
