Federico’s Design Jewelers named one of America’s Jewelry Leaders by Harper’s Bazaar Magazine.
The May 2007 issue of Harper’s Bazaar lists the 124 jewelers that were chosen as best in the United States. Four jewelers were chosen from Michigan, including Federico’s Design Jewelers.
The following is from the magazine: “HARPER’S BAZAAR HAS SHOPPED THE NATION TO BRING YOU THIS MUST-VISIT LIST OF AMERICA’S TOP JEWELRY RETAILERS. HAND-PICKED FOR THEIR FINE PRODUCT ASSORTMENT AND ATTENTION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, THESE RETAILERS ARE THE COUNTRY’S TRUE JEWELRY LEADERS. VISIT HARPER’S BAZAAR’S JEWELRY LEADERS FOR THE EXQUISITE JEWELRY AND WATCHES YOU LOVE AND THE TOP-TIER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE YOU DESERVE.”
In a press release from the magazine, Jane Loddo, Retail Merchandising Editor for Harper’s Bazaar, states that, “Federico’s Design Jewelers joins the prestigious group of Harper’s Bazaar’s Jewelry Leaders; the top 124 best jewelry and watch retail stores in America, as chosen by our editors and other important industry figures.”
Valerie Salembier, Harper’s Bazaar’s Senior Vice President and Publisher commented; “We are so pleased to partner with our Jewelry Leaders in serving America’s most stylish and accessorized women. Harper’s Bazaar’s Jewelry Leaders provide the most discerning customers, our readers, with high quality customer service and fine product assortment. The results are a very special personalized shopping experience.” Salembier added: “Harper’s Bazaar is proud to salute Federico’s Design Jewelers and America’s Jewelry Leaders—the top tier of America’s finest jewelry and watch stores.”
“This is an incredible honor for us,” states George Wildman, Owner and President of Federico’s Design Jewelers.” He continues, “It has always been our mission to provide the best customer service and product selection in the area. To receive an accolade of this magnitude is priceless.” Federico’s Design Jewelers was not only one of only four Michigan jewelers chosen as a Harper’s Bazaar Jewelry Leader, but they were the only jeweler of the four not to be located in the large metropolitan area around Detroit. “For a small town jeweler to receive such national recognition,” says Wildman, “just proves that with a lot of effort, a great staff, a firm vision and a love for the business, success is within anyone’s grasp.”
