(PRESS RELEASE) TROY, MI – TJS (The Jewelry Symposium), the jewelry industry’s annual international event dedicated specifically to the advancement of jewelry manufacturing technology, announced the four scholarship awardees for its 2024 edition. Generously sponsored by TJS supporters C&J Jewelry, Mano Acero Jewelry, and TechForm Advanced Casting, the four inaugural scholarships were awarded to two F.I.T. (Fashion Institute of Technology) jewelry design students, one graduating senior in jewelry craftsmanship from the North Bennett Street School, and a young jewelry repair and custom jewelry coordinator from Springer’s Jewelers in Maine.
TJS Scholarship Awardees include:
The four scholarships will cover the symposium registration fee, three nights at the venue – the Detroit Marriott Troy hotel May 18, 19, and 20 – plus meals catered by TJS, as well as a book, a thumb drive of all presentations, and a formal certificate of attendance.
“We are excited to meet these young jewelry professionals and are honored to share information with them at the upcoming symposium in May,” says Linus Drogs, chairman of Board, TJS. “Our industry is facing a serious shortage of young and skilled talent, so we welcome the younger generation with open arms, from every sector of the business.”
F.I.T. Jewelry Department Chair Emeritus Michael Coan also commented, “I am so very proud of our students and grateful for the existence of The Jewelry Symposium. There are never adequate words to describe how great the impact is for students new to jewelry studies to be able to see, absorb, and actually converse with the greats of the jewelry industry on a one-to-one basis. The greatness of TJS lies in the commitment to the sharing of ideas, technologies, and other exciting developments in the jewelry community. I am happy that our students will be able to concentrate all their energies in a supportive artistic environment; it can be truly life-changing.”

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.”
