I Am the Love Child of Unstoppable Force and an Immovable Object.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN a multi-million-ton chunk of speeding interplanetary rock crashes into earth? I happen (at least in those instances where there is considerable silica at the impact zone). There was some speculation when I was first discovered in southern Bohemia in 1786 that I was the scattered leftovers from an ancient bottlemaking plant. Little did they know then of my much more mysterious cosmic origins. I am the only tektite (“space glass”) of gem quality, and according to some traders, the “true kryptonite.”

Who am I?

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
