And the Winner of Our July Gem Quiz Was…

SERIAL GEM QUIZ Winner Steve Glazer of Sissy’s Log Cabin in Memphis, TN, was at it again in July, adding another Gem Geek t-shirt to his collection. Soon he will have one for every night of the week and we may have to retire the design. The answer was a gemstone that features one of the most distinctive inclusions in all of gemology – the radiating spokes that resemble the wheel of a sugar cane grinding mill, also known as a “trapiche”. Only this wasn’t the well-known emerald variety but a much rarer ruby version found in Myanmar. Tricky! Well done, Steve and all our Honorable Mentions who provided correct answers. Keep your eye on this space. A new Gem Quiz will be posted soon.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
