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.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
