“After 35 years of hearing various excuses and stories when customers return or pawn, a month or so ago, a customer came in to pawn her newly purchased anniversary gift. She was all apologetic because she needed the money for meds. Her total hysterectomy failed, and she just found out she was pregnant. I was speechless.” — Trisha Corleto, Lowell Jewelry and Loan, Lowell, MA

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.”
