This is a new Pearls of Wisdom segment called Chatting with Chuck. Chuck is a renowned writer for Southern Jewelry News and Mid-America Jewelry News. He has an associate degree in applied science in jewelry technology and gemological certification under his belt. Talk about multi-talented!  Chuck spills the beans on how he juggles running a jewelry shop while working in the entertainment business. He shares how he ended up owning Anthony Jewelers through a chance encounter and a deal that was sealed on the spot. Plus, he reveals the juicy details on why the store is still named after Anthony, even though he's not the original owner.  But wait, there's more!
