(PRESS RELEASE)AVENTURA, FL — After several decades as jewelry and watch industry leaders, Scott and Maxine King of King Jewelers have announced their retirement.

The King family has a long and prominent history in the industry. In 1912, Scott’s Great-Great Grandfather, Louis King, launched the family’s five-generation jewelry business as the first jewelry store in South Florida.

Through the years, King Jewelers has serviced many celebrities, musicians, and athletes including Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Dwade Wayne, and more.

“It’s been our pleasure to serve not only generations of South Floridians, but also family generations from all over the country who have remained our loyal clients and friends throughout the years. I’m especially proud of my two boys who will continue the King legacy as Maxine and I retire,” says Scott King.

King Jewelers’ CEO Scott King has devoted his entire life to upholding the King legacy. As the President of King Jewelers, Maxine King has played a crucial role in the development and success of the company.

“While it’s very difficult to say goodbye to our friends and clients in South Florida, we retire with so much gratitude. For more than fifty years, we’ve given our hearts to style our clients from around the world in some of the most spectacular jewelry and diamond creations,” says Maxine King.

David and Jonathan King will continue the family business and legacy at King Jewelers’ store in Nashville, Tennessee. With the closing of the Aventura store, the Nashville location has become the new flagship store of King Jewelers.

Although the closure of the Aventura store marks the end of an era, King Jewelers will continue to provide concierge and online services to the South Florida region while upkeeping the tradition of “A Family of Fine Jewelers Since 1912.”

The fifth generation of Kings is thriving, and the family is committed to continuing the 111-year legacy. The Nashville store continues to expand, starting with the opening of an IWC Schaffhausen boutique this fall in addition to other several new projects on the horizon in Tennessee.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
