Star Sosa’s gorgeous jewelry gallery brings new meaning
to the term retail therapy. To understand what we
mean, simply walk through the doors of Spectrum Art
& Jewelry in The Forum shopping center. It is a feast for the
eyes and the soul, filled with color, light and delightfully
unique jewelry, glass and art. But what really sets Spectrum
apart is the warmth and charm you experience there. “Many
of our clients tell me they come to Spectrum whenever they
need an attitude adjustment or a pick me up,” Star says. “We
are like an art spa! You can’t help but smile when you come
here.”
With a focus on custom jewelry design and creation, Star’s
award-winning jewelry design team has more than 100 years
of combined experience. “I love this business because we get
to be a part of our clients’ very special moments: engagements,
weddings, anniversaries and births.”
Star’s favorite local nonprofits are the DREAMS Center
for Arts Education and WHQR Public Radio. She spends her
spare time enjoying outdoor activities like swimming,
kayaking and bike riding.

Michelle Clark is engaged in one of today’s most demanding
industries — real estate. But to talk to her, you’d never suspect
the challenges she’s facing.
“There actually is some good news,” she explains. “People want to
move here from other areas. We’re very lucky in that regard.”
A transplant herself, Michelle easily relates to relocating clients. In
fact, it’s her favorite part of the job.
“Wilmington has so much going on, it’s easy to tell the story about
how great the city is,” she says. “Helping people find homes, start new
lives and take advantage of what the community has to offer is easy in
a place as beautiful as this.”
She also gives back by volunteering with a host of local organizations
and serving on the boards of Welcome Home Angel and the North
Carolina Holiday Flotilla.
Michelle says that by keeping honesty and integrity at the core of
every interaction, she has been able to earn the trust and confidence of
others in order to stay afloat in tough times.
“Intracoastal Realty has a stellar reputation and we’re well respected
among our customers and among other Realtors,” she says, adding: “It’s
quite a compliment when your competitors think highly of you.”
