“There are times when a clock owner will call me on the telephone and tell me their clock has stopped. After asking a series of questions, many times the owner is able to take care of the problem themselves. One person, after the completion of the over-the-phone repair, asked what they needed to pay me. I told them nothing since they solved the problem themselves. They insisted, so I told them they could send me a dozen oatmeal cookies. It was a year before I collected.” — Glyn Jolly, G.J. Enterprise, Victoria, TX

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
