My Cousin Paraiba Gets The Glory, But My Deep Arctic Blue Is Still Beautiful

LET ME SHOW you a photo from our last family reunion. There’s my cousin rubellite, and there is verdelite. Way down at the end, the colorless one, is achroite. Paraiba didn’t show up — he was too busy generating ridiculous prices at some auction. And that’s me in the middle, the blue one. I wasn’t really at my best that day — the boat trip from Brazil had left me feeling a little green. At my peak, I’m a glorious deep Arctic blue. Rare, but reasonably priced.

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.”
