You Won’t Believe What This Jeweler Did to Make His Community Love Him

Siegel’s Jewelry in Paso Robles, CA, walked the Christmas walk last year. On Christmas Eve, they put a tree outside their front door with approximately 50 gifts worth $10-$50 each for anyone in need of a present but who couldn’t afford one. “On the following Monday, all the gifts were gone and a note under our door said how nice it was that people like you are still around,” said owner Ken Siegel. Such were the feelings of goodwill generated by the gesture that Siegel’s decided to up their generosity: “This year we will be doing our gift tree each night for seven nights before Christmas,” Siegel said.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
