What's New?
As we are moving forward with GemFind.com marketing, we realize we have a hard work ahead of us. Not only we have to draw the consumer's attention to our website, but we also need to educate them as buying diamonds site unseen is not a wise decision. We need to let them know that there is an educated trustworthy retail jeweler nearby in their neighborhood with many years of ex
perience that has access to the same amount of diamonds as Blue Nile and other online sellers and can offer you guidance as to making the right decision. This task cannot be achieved unless the entire industry pools all the resources together and make this happen. GemFind.com has created the vehicle, but we need your support. Please contact us and see how you can participate...
