I’m Known by Many Names That Underscore My Colorful History … and Redness

CEYLON RUBY, AUSTRALIAN RUBY, Syrian garnet, precious garnet, even carbuncle … those are some of the names I have picked up along my travels through history. Which should tell you a few things: Yes, I’m predominantly red; no, I’m not as valuable as a ruby; and yes, I’ve been used as a gemstone for a long, long time. I’m the hardest garnet around, but I have a soft spot for a certain delicious garnish. It just sounds great.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
