Walmart Removes Jewelry Cases from Hundreds of Stores

Walmart has removed glass jewelry cases from about a third of its 1,000 stores, Talk Business & Politics reports.

Since April 2018 it’s been eliminating jewelry from stores where there’s insufficient demand for the products.

Those stores continue to offer “costume jewelry, watches and other accessories that hang on modular racks or spinner displays.”

Even the stores that no longer sell finer jewelry have reconfigured the department. Jewelry no longer has its own department but has, instead, been combined with shoes.

A change that’s planned for April is the introduction of an exclusive costume jewelry line called Believe by Brilliance.

The pieces will be available at all Walmart stores and online, selling for $15 to $25.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
