I love the fact we are very tourism based and there’s a military base, always people coming and going. It’s a mix of historical and fresh.
Distilling down grandmothers’ and mothers’ pieces for the daughters. I appreciate the pieces that have the stories and come from grandmother to mother to daughter, come down the line. My grandmother’s jewelry skipped over me. Those are so sentimental and special.

Right now, it’s so much word of mouth and I’m starting to do a lot more features in e-blasts to my email list. We’ve turned to our own base and we’re tapping into Google. I’m asking my clients and saying hey, we need some referrals. Kind of tapping into my hot leads.
I’m focusing direct to consumer through online. We’re going to keep nurturing our wholesale relationships, but our primary focus is going to be direct to consumer through online portals.
I would say there’s a lot of tech available to help make it more streamlined. Loom is one of my favorite platforms, it’s a video screen recording software and it’s free. I do these videos for my clients and they can open it at their convenience and replay it. It assists in making sure that everyone is on the same page. You can verify details in person, but communication is key online. The process serves to communicate with your clients and it’s also documentation on your end. I will do hand sketches and then I’ll put the sketches on my screen and screen record while I talk about each sketch. I can ask, “Do you like A, B, or C and they can call or email me. So, I’ve got it right there and I know exactly what I said. I’ve had multiple customers say this made the process so much fun. They can send the link to family members for input. That creates a positive experience.
Sally Ride Remembered As An Inspiration To Others
I ask a lot of questions, on the form or on phone calls. I ask about lifestyle. Are you active? Are you going camping all the time? I’m trying to get a flavor of whether it should be a bezel setting or a prong setting. I get a lot of details, especially when we get into some of the heirloom redesigns. I’m really trying to draw those personal connections to the pieces.
My studio has always been a private studio, so I take appointments. Prior to all this (COVID-19), I would stack appointments; now we’re doing it pretty much all digitally, with Zoom calls, FaceTime even. Lots of phone calls and text messages.
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.”
