WELCOME to “Fill in the Blank,” a weekly helping of nutritious thought for growing jewelry store owners.


	FILL IN THE BLANK: If I were a gemstone stone, any gemstone, I would be __________. [NOW, EXPLAIN.]

Instructions: Fill in the blank with the first thing that comes into your mind. Think of these as a Rorschach test for jewelers. Oh, and for extra credit, you might explain in a separate paragraph why you think answered the way you did. Because that’s always interesting, too — the so-called “method behind the madness.” Thanks for participating! And check back every Friday for more blank-filling mayhem.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
