You decide if it’s weird or brilliant.

Kyra Brooks, a former nurse who’s now a stay-at-home mom, tells Fox 4 News that when she was breastfeeding her daughter she “wanted a tangible way to capture this bond that I had with her.” That ambition eventually gave rise to a thriving enterprise in which people mail her their breast milk that Brooks uses to make beads for necklaces, charm bracelets, pearls, rings and earrings. Her Facebook page now has more than 18,000 likes, and she also has a nifty website with a peculiar URL. “Some people thought it was weird, some people thought it was the best idea ever,” she says.

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.”
