Selling jewelry is a lot more fun than selling sports cars. Now, we know what you might be thinking, but it’s true — at least that’s what Fink’s store manager Antony Sprason says. And if there’s one guy that would know, it’s him. Sprason came into the jewelry industry about a decade ago, and before that, he sold everything from sports cars to sports jackets and suits. Now he’s having a lot more fun creating customer relationships and developing the team at our Chattanooga location. People who meet Sprason know he’s a fun, charismatic guy, so we sat down with him to learn more about what makes him tick. How do you help couples find the perfect engagement ring? I like to talk to them and get to know a little more about them as a couple. I have a set of questions to ask to make their job easier and make sure I’m offering them what
they want, but it’s best to approach each couple differently. Each couple is going to have a different background, a different budget, and they’re all going to be looking for something different, so I vary process based on each couple’s individual needs. What is your favorite product that Fink’s offers customers? What brought me into the business was watches. I’ve always been a fan of timepieces and the intricacies that go into watches. It fascinates me. There’s nothing else on the planet, outside maybe your heart, that has to work every second of every day. It’s amazing what a watch can do and has been able to do for years, just by using a bunch of tiny cogs.
What are your favorite spring pieces this year? My favorite David Yurman collection is Novella. I personally love an emerald cut, and the Novella collection’s main gem is emerald cut. I love an emerald cut because it shows the true, natural quality of the gem. When you combine this with the color of the gems and the diamonds, it looks awesome, especially in gold. I also like the Paveflex collection, it looks phenomenal in gold. What do you love doing when you aren’t working? In terms of hobbies, I enjoy spending time with my wife. I enjoy driving, as well. I go to the car meets, meet the other enthusiasts. I’m about to go down to Atlanta to the Porsche Driving Experience Center with mine and push it around the track.
