And the Answer to Our August Gem Quiz Was …

Over its relatively short commercial history, identifying andesine has been a sometimes tricky endeavor – the gemstone was embroiled in a synthetic-treatment scandal not long after its celebrated “discovery” high in the Andes in 2003. But Marcy Higashi of Louis Anthony Jewelers in Pittsburgh, PA, was clearly up for the task, unmasking the gemstone and winning our August Gem Quiz. Well done, Marcy, who takes home this month’s Gem Geek t-shirt as her prize. And kudos as well to our Honorable Mentions, who also provided the correct answers. A new Gem Quiz will be posted soon. Watch this space!

How Howes Diamond Jewelers Closed a Location — and Opened the Door to What's Next

Dan Howes grew up in his family's jewelry business, eventually taking the helm of two locations his father launched in 1964. When it came time to consolidate, he turned to Wilkerson. "It was a pretty easy decision," Howes says, citing the company's strong reputation and a friend's successful experience. Wilkerson's proven sales roadmap delivered — meeting projected financial goals and guiding the process every step of the way. "This is their profession. They have it dialed in."
