TO THE UNTRAINED eye, moissanite can be mistaken for another more illustrious gemstone (which is kind of the point), but there was no fooling the readers of INSTORE. We had a great response to last month’s Gem Quiz with pretty much no one providing the wrong answer (although a few were tripped up by the spelling – that’s an “a” in the middle of the word!). When it came to picking a winner for the grand prize (a stylish Gem Geek t-shirt), Robert Sturman’s name came out of the hat. Well done, Robert, who hails from Laughlin Jewelry in Laughlin, NV, as well as all our many Honorable Mentionees, who also answered correctly.

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.”
