Except for a few years when he worked as an accountant, Jim Schwartz has always been a jeweler. He grew up in the business and after "counting beans" for a few years, he and his wife, Robin, opened Robin James Jewelers in Cincinnati, Ohio. "We were coming to a stage in our life where we knew we have to make a decision," says Jim Schwartz. He and Robin wanted to do it right, so they called Wilkerson.
