Here’s the Answer to November’s Gem Quiz

And congratulations to our winner.

It’s always great to have a winner who also happens to love the gem in question. And that was the case this month, with Peter Hannes IV from Koehn & Koehn Jewelers in West Bend, WI.

“My absolute most favorite gemstone in the world is a demantoid. This is its mineral, andradite.”

And andradite garnet it was.

Congratulations Peter, who will receive a “Jewelry Geek” T-shirt. And also to all this month’s Honorable Mentions for providing the correct answer.

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."
