It takes place this weekend.

(Press Release) The Select Show taking place Sept. 10-11 in Dallas, TX, is raising money for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

“Our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Harvey and we are in a position to help,” said Select Show Director Jordan Brockhaus.

Show founder Joe Carullo, KC Designs, agrees. “The Dallas Select Show will support the state of Texas now, as it always has for the last eight years.”

The Texas-sized raffle will have a Texas-sized prize to go with it. Attending retailers and manufacturers are invited to purchase raffle tickets for $20 each or five for $100. The winner will receive a two-night stay at the Dallas Ritz Carlton and a $200 gift certificate to Del Frisco’s steakhouse nearby.

Raffles will be sold at the Show and attendees do not have to be present to win.

The Select Jewelry Show will match donations up to $5,000.

All proceeds go to the American Red Cross Harvey Relief.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
