Below is the official announcement from the show:

Dear valued exhibitors, attendees and stakeholders,

As a result of current travel restrictions, and after careful consideration we have decided to re-schedule the Istanbul Jewelry Show from its original dates 8-11 October 2020. The event will be re-scheduled to take place at CNR Expo, Istanbul Fair Center on 7-10 October 2021.

As you can imagine this decision has been extremely difficult but after close consultation with the industry and our stakeholders we feel that we are unable to run an event that meets the very high standards we set ourselves and that you rightly expect. Whilst Informa are successfully running events using a set of standards designed to ensure they are safe we feel strongly that rescheduling to next year is the right thing to do given the uncertainty over international travel.

We remain committed to bringing people together to ensure we help the industry through these difficult times and are already planning our next event The Istanbul Jewelry Show March edition which will be held as planned on 25-28 March 2021.

Yours sincerely,

The Istanbul Jewelry Show Team

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.”
