Windsor was a GAME CHANGER for my business. I was the jewelry manager at the leading luxury department store in Chicago on Michigan Avenue for the past 7.5 years; the incredible expanse of their constantly replenished inventory, the newest, most desirable, and hard to obtain designer pieces as well as rare and highly collectible estate pieces made them our top brand partner year after year. Too, their team has always been incredibly supportive; they always wanted the sale as much as I did.
