Our clue implied this was a stone for only the gnarliest of rock hounds, the type prepared to brave the wilds of Alaska’s maritime frontier in pursuit of this distinctive fossilized gem. Or maybe our clues just made no sense to most people. Either way, we had only five correct answers. We now know what NOT to buy our readers for an important milestone event: Stingray Coral. Well done to Steve Glazer, sales director at Windsor Jewelers in Charlotte, NC. He won our grand prize — a jewelry geek t-shirt. And congratulations also to our small band of honorable mentions.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
