This Is What They Call a Gemstone in Australia — No Clarity, Crystals and Odd Accents

Go on, admit it: The first time you heard of me, you thought I came from Colorado. But my name actually refers to the fact that I am found in big round chunks of ironstone (usually in Australia’s arid outback). I am proudly different from most other gems: no cuts, no carats, no clarity, not even any crystals — just lots of stunning color.

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.”
