(PRESS RELEASE) In response to the fast-breaking developments related to the COVID-19 coronavirus in New York City, MJSA has decided to postpone its Expo, which had been scheduled to run March 15-17 at the Javits Center.

“We place the highest importance on the health and well-being of our exhibitors, attendees, and staff,” said MJSA President/CEO David W. Cochran. “Given Governor Cuomo’s decision to declare a state of emergency for New York State, along with the current uncertainty about the virus’s progression in New York City, we’ve decided to postpone the show until the threat passes and we can be more certain that MJSA Expo can be run both safely and successfully.

“We’ve already heard from many Expo exhibitors who agree that this move is necessary,” he continued. “We are currently working with the management of JA New York and the Javits Center to identify new show dates for later this year, and we’ll coordinate with our exhibitors to ensure the shift can proceed as smoothly as possible.”

MJSA would like to thank everyone for their support and new dates will be announced soon.

MJSA Expo is the longest-running trade show dedicated to professional excellence in jewelry making and design, and it annually features the leading suppliers of related tools, equipment, supplies, and services. For continuing updates, go to MJSAExpo.org.

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.”
