When it comes to colored gemstones, go bold or go home.

COLORED GEMS REMAIN popular, but the two strongest trends in this area right now are in direct opposition to each other: sedate greens and blues on one side. and shockingly bright pink, orange, and Pantone’s 2023 color of the year, Viva Magenta, on the other. When you have an uncertain customer looking for color, ask them how they want the hue of their new jewel to make them feel. Today’s shoppers are all about the vibe, so find out what they want and then make it happen.

Serene Queen

This trend feels like taking a deep breath in a quiet forest while surrounded by trees and moss. Deep blues, relaxed greens, tranquil teals; these calming colors carry a strong connection to the natural world and might even lower your blood pressure (although we can’t guarantee that). Perfect for emeralds, tanzanite, green garnets, malachite, and Montana sapphires.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
