And the Answer to April’s Gem Quiz Was …

And the winner of May’s Gem Quiz is …

It wasn’t much of a clue – a mention of Texas and a high-res shot of a blue gemstone. But that was enough for Bailey Keister of Windham Jewelers in Windham, ME, to identify May’s mystery stone — Blue Topaz (aka Texas Topaz). Well done, Bailey, as well as all our Honorable Mentions, who also submitted corrrect answers. Keep an eye on this space. A new Gem Quiz will be posted soon.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
