OCTOBER IS HOME to Halloween, that time of the year when the dark side emerges from the underworld to grip popular attention. It thus seemed apt to shine a light on onyx, arguably the most popular dark gemstone in America, as last month’s mystery stone. H. Michael Rose, owner of H.M. Rose Jewelry Design, in Naples, FL, saw through our verbal tricks and gets the treat – a cool Gem Geek t-shirt. Well done, Michael and all our Honorable Mentions, who also identified onyx correctly. Keep your eyes on this space. A new Gem Quiz will be appearing soon.

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.”
