And the Winner of Our October Gem Quiz Was…

WHEN THE TALK turns to tourmalines it’s usually Paraiba or rubellite that dominate the conversation but they are an endlessly interesting family with the widest color range among gemstones. That can make identifying one from another a challenging task, but that didn’t deter Summer Rhoads from Disinger Jewelers of Jasper in Jasper, IN, who correctly recognized Uvite as our October mystery stone. Well done, Summer, who scored last month’s Gem Geek t-shirt. And congratulations also to all our Honorable Mentions, who submitted correct answers as well.

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.
