Lippa’s Jeffrey Berger to Retire After 50 Years
The family business will be passed down to his son, fourth-generation jeweler Michael Berger.
Burlington, Vt.—Jeffrey Berger, president and CEO of Lippa’s Estate and Fine Jewelry, will soon retire, passing the business down to his son and fourth-generation jeweler, Michael Berger.
His retirement comes after 50 years working for the estate jewelry company.
“It has been an honor and a pleasure to interact and serve our local and national clients for all these years. Lippa’s has been a staple in this community since my family started this business in 1933,” said Jeffrey Berger in a press release.
The family-run business specializes in estate, period, and antique jewelry.
Its website allows shoppers to filter search results by time-period, from the Georgian era and Art Noveau to more modern jewels of the 1960s to 2010s.
Soon-to-be owner Michael Berger is a graduate gemologist who has worked alongside his father for eight years. Previously, he spent 12 years as a buyer and gemologist for Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry in California, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“As the fourth-generation family member to own and operate Vermont’s oldest family-run jewelry store, I look forward to the challenge,” said Michael Berger.
A store-wide sale, available both in-store and online, began this month to kick off Berger’s upcoming retirement and celebrate his tenure.
“It will always be a part of the family. I know I'm leaving the business in good hands,” said Jeffrey Berger.
