IDEX Online Research: Tiffany to Use U.S. Slowdown as an Opportunity for Growth

Ken Gassman, March 31, 2008 

 

When Mike Kowalski, Tiffany's chairman, stated that "the future is obscured by so much uncertainty and pessimism," it is safe to say that he was speaking for most everyone in the diamond and jewelry industry. But Kowalski has taken a different attitude about the current environment: rather than hand-wringing and worrying, he views this as an opportunity for Tiffany & Co.

Is eBay Offering Commodities? Good Question...
Jewelry News, Monday, March 31, 2008 

 

Windsor Auctions, Inc. and Jewelry Auctions, Inc., filed an unfair competition/antitrust action in December 2007 against eBay. In response, attorneys representing eBay filed a motion to dismiss Windsor/Jewelry Auctions action. In filing their motion to dismiss, eBay's attorneys have argued that eBay is not subject to the Robinson-Patman Antitrust Act, as they do not offer commodities. Interestingly enough, eBay may have opened the door to writing law, which may have its disadvantages for future litigations to come. >>>

U.S. GOVERNMENT VIEWS ON LAUNDERING IN THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY 

Tacy Ltd, March 27, 2008    

 

Once a year, the U.S. Department of State presents the U.S. Congress with an almost 1,000-page report on the state-of-the-world from a narcotics trade and money laundering perspective. Ostensibly there is little or no reason for diamonds to become an issue in this report, but in the just-released 2008 edition, one gets the impression that things aren't well in the diamond world. >>>
