KAREN KUHN OF Arabesque Jewelers in High Ridge, MO, was the winner of our April Gem Quiz, correctly guessing our mystery stone of the month – the lovely but reserved beauty that is kyanite. Congratulations, Karen, who scores a Gem Geek t-shirt as her prize. And well done too to our 28 honorable mentions, who also got the correct answer but no cigar. Kyanite isn’t used that often in jewelry, so give yourselves all a consoling slap on the back. We’ll be giving away another t-shirt next month. Watch this space.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
