| What's new We would like to thank everyone visited us at the JCK Show in Las Vegas. Even though the attendance for the show was much lower than last year, but we were busy at the booth. Many jewelers as well as suppliers complained about the same thing which was the fear of losing market share to the e-tailers like Blue Nile and Diamonds.com, but also everyone agreed that with the new GemFind.com, we all had a chance to capture market share as well as ability to compete which would be impossible for individual companies to do. Join GemFind and let's make the force stronger. |
