Gemstones aren’t exactly seasonal but some definitely capture certain times of the year better than others. Case in point – watermelon tourmaline, which was our mystery stone in sultry June. It’s deep pink and light greens just make you want to bite into its luscious body (although not recommended). Missy Bowra from Hauser’s Jewelers in Newport News, VA,won June’s quiz. Well done, Missy, who scores a Gem Geek t-shirt, as well as all our Honorable Mentions, whose names were a little slower out of the hat. Watch 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.
