We purchase jewelry from the general public and often ask them to send us pictures of the items they’d like to sell before making an appointment to come by our showroom. We received a photo from a gentleman of a ring he wanted to sell, and upon closer inspection of the background of the photo, we realized he was sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles in a public restroom! — Julie Walton Garland, Walton’s Jewelry, Franklin, TN

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.”
