(Press Release)
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Jewelry designer Vicente Agor is announcing his first bridal collection, Bond.
Agor’s fine jewelry collections are inspired by his personal memories and experiences, and his own marriage last year inspired the launch of his first bridal collection.
Visual inspiration for the bridal line comes from Agor’s fascination with the ocean.
“We like the symbol of a wave because it signifies motion much like the progress of a relationship and the ever changing flow of life,” Agor says. “When you double the wave onto itself, you get the infinity symbol, another representation of enduring love.”
With social responsibility in mind, Agor uses recycled 18-karat yellow and white gold combined with antique, vintage or conflict-free diamonds in this collection. The idea of using center stone diamonds from antique or vintage jewelry was appealing to Agor.
“To me there is something very appealing about mixing the old with modern design,” he says. “We find that our customers cultivate their personal style with a mix of new and old, classic and contemporary.”

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
