The Atlanta Jewelry Show announced that the 2020 fall edition of its event will be held Oct. 24-25.

The event was originally scheduled for August.

Libby Brown, executive director, said, “After careful consideration, and in light of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) developments, the new show dates will enable us to provide the experience that our attendees expect and deserve in a safe environment. As everyone has been reminding us, great things happen when the community comes together and connects.

“This date shift offers the perfect opportunity for retailers to stock up for the holidays. We look forward to hosting a wonderful event. Until then, stay safe and healthy!”

The semi-annual show, which celebrates the 70th anniversary of SJTA, will take place at the Cobb Galleria Centre, with a pre-show conference on Friday, Oct. 23.

The show’s official sponsor and producer, the Southern Jewelry Travelers Association, is the nation’s oldest association for independent jewelry representatives.

Jewelers Say Some Business Tweaks May Be Permanent

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
