“Jewelers are still at high risk even though their operations are temporarily shut down or changed,” said Larry Spicer, Jewelers Mutual vice president of Loss Prevention and Risk Management Services. “This is a great opportunity to brush up on best practices.”

Each of the 10 courses offered focuses on a different area. Two of the most popular are Selling with Security, which provides education on preventing theft and how to stay safe during a robbery, and Danger on the Road, which is tailored to traveling salespeople. There’s also a course on cybersecurity that is beneficial to anyone working from home or engaging in e-commerce.

More than 1,000 businesses use JM University as part of their annual training and new hire orientation. Managers can assign specific courses to staff and monitor their progress. Many of the courses have built-in quiz modules to reinforce the learning and provide a feedback loop if more attention is needed on a topic.

“Offering complimentary access to our resources is the right thing to do,” Spicer said. “For the past month we’ve focused on extending services to our policyholders, but we also remain dedicated to supporting the entire jewelry industry as we navigate this uncertain time. Together, we’ll get through this.”

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
