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.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
