Here’s the Answer to July’s Gem Quiz

We strayed deep into the utilitarian mineral end of gemology last month, but that didn’t stop the most determined rock hounds among our readers from uncovering the answer to our mystery stone – plagioclase feldspar. Well done, Kim Hatchell, sales manager at Galloway & Moseley in Sumter, SC, for providing the correct answer and winning a Jewelry Geek t-shirt. Congratulations also to the following for making our Honorable Mentions List. Please wear the kudos with pride.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
