Yep, Take Another Big Gulp: I Am 1,000 Times More Valuable Than Gold

150,000 TIMES RARER than diamond, 1,000 times more valuable than gold … and they gave me a name that sounded like something on 7-11’s menu. Sheesh! Thankfully, the CIBJO recommends you use a much more prosaic appellation, although it’s not uncommon for many traders to casually refer to me as “scarlet emerald” in a nod to my illustrious cousin. In gem-grade quality, I can be found at only one place: Utah’s Wah Wah Mountains, a delightful wilderness where convenience stores are nearly as hard to find as I am.

Who am I?

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.”
