And the Answer to February’s Gem Quiz Was …

A BRILLIANCE MATCHED only by the collective smarts of our readers!” That wasn’t actually a clue in February’s Gem Quiz but could have been as we continued to explore lesser-known gemstones. The variety in question – Cerussite — has a higher dispersion than diamond but as fiery as it is, also tends to be on the fragile side, so you won’t come across it too often in your daily encounters in the store. Such rarity, however, proved no obstacle to Andrea Mattei of Judith Ansteth Jewelers in Chicago, IL, who provided the first correct answer to come out of the Gem Quiz barrel. Well done, Andrea, who scores a Gem Geek t-shirt for her efforts, and congratulations also to our many Honorable Mentions, who also answered correctly. Keep your eye on this space. We’ll post a new Gem Quiz soon!

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
