(PRESS RELEASE) BANGKOK — Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Thailand Ministry of Commerce and its affiliates have been carefully monitoring the development of the global community efforts to diminish the COVID-19 situation in the past months. Although Thailand can control the outbreak so effectively that there is no local infection in the past two months, the health and safety of industry stakeholders are always the priority. DITP has decided to reschedule the 66th BGJF to 23-27 February 2021 promoting the same theme: “Thailand’s Magic Hands: The Spirit of Jewelry Making.”

DITP is indebted to overwhelming supports the global Gems and Jewelry industry community has shown to BGJF for over three decades. We believe new opportunities will emerge and the business will thrive when all industry players meet again.

In the meantime, DITP is now working closely with partners to come up with “BGJF Special Edition – On Ground to Online Exhibition” which will be launched on 2-4 November 2020. The primary objective of this online platform is to virtually continue the legacy of BGJF as world’s leading Gems and Jewelry meeting point showcasing refined craftsmanship of Thailand.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
