The top answer is no surprise.

As a jeweler, you meet lots of people — and there are probably certain things about them that you focus on right away. Have you ever wondered if your peers in the industry notice the same things?

As we collect responses for this year’s Big Survey, we’re bringing you a few highlights from years past — Big Survey Flashbacks, if you will.

Today we bring you a question from our 2013 survey: “When you meet people, the first thing you notice about them is …”

The results:

  • Their jewelry – 22%
  • Their smile/teeth – 22%
  • Their attitude/demeanor – 20%
  • Their eyes/facial expression – 17%
  • Their overall appearance – 3%
  • Their physique – 3%
  • Other – 2%

Want to have your say on the industry and what it means to own or manage an American jewelry store in 2017? Click HERE to take the latest INSTORE Big Survey. (The survey will probably take about 20 minutes to complete and is designed to be taken solely by store owners and managers.)

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
