OUR MYSTERY GEMSTONE in August was Paraiba tourmaline, a favorite of many jewelers and we’re guessing most of them could identify it from sight at several paces. (Who needs clues!) The result was a huge number of correct responses but it was Gina Wiese Dill’s name that called out from the hat, and she scores this month’s Gem Geek T-shirt. Well done, Gina, who owns Kinne’s Jewelers in Gainesville, TX. And also all of August’s Honorable Mentions. A new Gem Quiz is coming soon. Watch this space!

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
