(PRESS RELEASE) FERNDALE, MI — Gem Legacy Adventures is hosting its 3rd trip January 6-16, 2024 to Northern Tanzania and Southern Kenya. 13 spots are available. The itinerary includes visiting Gem Legacy initiatives, several artisanal colored gemstone mines, safari inside national parks in both countries, as well as cultural experiences. Trips will also include a service project day at one of the Gem Legacy initiatives.

Gem Legacy Adventures is the for-profit partner of Gem Legacy, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting vocational training, entrepreneurship, and community development in East African colored gemstone mining communities.

The profits of Gem Legacy Adventures funds Gem Legacy’s nonprofit administrative costs, ensuring it can continue its promise that 100% of every donation goes direct to the initiatives. Travelers are not required to be members of the jewelry industry, although Gem Legacy anticipates interest from members of the jewelry industry who may want to visit gem mining at the source in order to speak more authoritatively about it or to address responsible gem mining questions.

Ready to Move? Let Wilkerson Lead the Way

When Brockhaus Jewelry planned their move to a new location in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman knew exactly who to call for their moving sale: Wilkerson. "Having worked with Wilkerson before, choosing them again made perfect sense," says Shipman. "And our second partnership was even better than the first." The sale exceeded expectations, thanks to Wilkerson's strategic approach - starting with Brockhaus's existing inventory before carefully supplementing with additional pieces. "They made everything simple," Shipman adds. "From the outstanding consultant to the detailed planning, the entire process was seamless." It's why both partners enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to fellow jewelers planning a move, remodel, or retirement sale.
