OCTOBER IS HOME to Halloween, that time of the year when the dark side emerges from the underworld to grip popular attention. It thus seemed apt to shine a light on onyx, arguably the most popular dark gemstone in America, as last month’s mystery stone. H. Michael Rose, owner of H.M. Rose Jewelry Design, in Naples, FL, saw through our verbal tricks and gets the treat – a cool Gem Geek t-shirt. Well done, Michael and all our Honorable Mentions, who also identified onyx correctly. Keep your eyes on this space. A new Gem Quiz will be appearing soon.

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.”
