The event is set for Jan. 28-29 in Tucson.

(Press Release) The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers announces that it will award an ACE It
Appraisal Conference Scholarship to a deserving gemology student.

NAJA invites GIA, FGA, FGAA, FGG, FCGmA and RGA students to apply for this scholarship for the 48th Annual ACE It Winter Educational Conference scheduled on Jan. 28-29 in Tucson, AZ.

This opportunity gives the gemology student a firsthand experience of networking with appraisal professionals by attending the NAJA educational experience during a time when Tucson devotes itself to gems, jewelry and minerals. The scholarship, which covers the conference fee only, requires a resume, photo and an essay explaining the reason why the gemology student would choose to become a gems and jewelry appraiser. NAJA believes that becoming a gems and jewelry professional appraiser is a viable career option for gemological students. Applications can be obtained through the NAJA website: http://najaappraisers.com/ScholarshipApp2016.pdf.

The deadline for submission is Nov. 1, 2017, and the final selection by the NAJA Scholarship Advisory Board will be announced Dec. 1, 2017.

The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers is the largest membership association specializing exclusively in gem and jewelry appraising and related appraisal issues. It offers education and networking opportunities with knowledgeable appraisal professionals. For further information, contact Gail Brett Levine, GG, executive director, The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers, P.O. Box 18, Rego Park, NY 11374, 718.896.1536.

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
