Artistry Celebrates 40 Years in Business

(PRESS RELEASE) CHICAGO, IL — Artistry, Ltd. celebrates 40 years in business. Founded by Laura Klemt in 1982, the company began by importing and selling Scandinavian jewelry.

Forty years later, Artistry, Ltd. offers an extensive line of 14K finished jewelry with semi-precious and precious gemstones, diamonds, and plain gold, in addition to a large sterling silver selection. In the past 5 years, Artistry, Ltd. has greatly expanded its specialty collections, offering unique Limited Edition and One-of-a-Kind pieces featuring hand-selected gemstones.

In 2007, Susan Klemt Williams, Laura’s daughter, joined the business and currently serves as President. Artistry, Ltd.’s team has also grown over the years and is comprised of multiple territory managers covering much of the United States, as well as an office staff working out of the company’s headquarters in Skokie, IL.

In 2017, Artistry, Ltd. debuted Graymoor Lane Designs, the company’s first branded collection, which is inspired by Laura and Susan’s love for mid-century architecture and design.

The constant throughout the past 40 years has been the wonderful relationships that Artistry, Ltd. has developed with its retailers, many of which have been customers for decades.

“It is such a joy to be a part of this phenomenal business.” says Susan Klemt Williams. “I am in awe of my mother’s hard work and dedication all these years.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
