(PRESS RELEASE) CALGARY, ALBERTA — Makers of the ultimate productivity tool for jewelry appraisers and retailers, Instappraise announces a new partnership with George Brown College for its jewelry and gemology programs.

The jewelry and gemology programs at George Brown represent one of North America’s largest and best-equipped jewelry schools, offering the only full-time gemology certificate program in Ontario. The expert faculty members teach students hands-on skills while they work with precious metals and gems in a state-of-the-art environment.

Through this partnership, the college will be offering Instappraise’s cutting-edge and easy-to-use jewelry appraisal creation and management solution to all current students and recent graduates, free of charge.

Additionally, graduates of the Jewelry and Gemology Programs will benefit from a free 1-year subscription to the Instappraise platform, post-graduation, completely free-of-charge, to help kickstart their career in the jewelry and gemology industry.

“This is an awesome tool for our students to learn and use. Instappraise prepares them for the future of client quotes and appraisals. The cloud-based platform makes it so simple to use and it’s fast, professional and slick. It’s like Silicon Valley has come to the traditional jewelry store! With Instappraise I feel confident that our students are prepared for the future of the retail jewellery industry.” — Paul McClure, professor & program coordinator, School of Fashion & Jewellery | Centre for Arts, Design and Information Technology, George Brown College

“If anyone is looking to expand their company so that they can easily have documents created and organized for clients, then Instappraise is the answer. It makes it so easy to create documents, like appraisals, quotes and diamond gradings and to keep them updated for the clients. The platform is easy to maneuver, and the company is so friendly and easy to work with.

Instappraise makes creating professional documents an easy and efficient task. The pricing can be linked to multiple membership subscription and is updated regularly. One of the best parts is that it is so mobile. When you have to carry a lab set up with you, being able to create the documents from a tablet device is wonderful.” — Gillian Lie, BSc, RMV, CDG HRD, FCGmA, FGA, professor, Jewellery & Gemmology, School of Fashion & Jewellery | Centre for Arts, Design and Information Technology, George Brown College

Raphael Boivin, Instappraise founder & CEO stated: “We are excited to be working with George Brown College and their jewelry and gemology students.

We believe the Instappraise Platform is the perfect educational tool for future gemologists and jewelry appraisers and will help them excel in a traditional industry operating within today’s digital age.”

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.”
