Know - How
The Sexy Secret of a Sapphire

Jewelry.com         September 4, 2008 

Even gemstones have hidden secrets they don't like being publicized much. You'd think that after centuries in the limelight, almost everything to know about these elegant stones would be out there in the open. But that hasn't
been the case - until now. Sapphires for example, have always liked to consider themselves the perfect blue gem. It's about time though that they come out of the jewelry box and stand proud. Sapphires are not just blue...>>>


You are the story you tell others
By Suze Bragg          Sep 08, 2008
 
Your company's message is a story; one you repeat over and over again without realizing it.  Your attitude, the inflection in your voice, and the words you use all provoke an emotional response from your audience without your conscious necessarily registering it.  Being able to accurately describe the story can be the difference between disaster (hostility, blockades) and acceptance.  >>>

Gold -3%: Hourly Wages -40cents Since '98, Aug. Unemployment Rises 
By Jeff Miller                        Sep  05, 2008

Gold shed 3.1 percent this week to $806oz. as of noon today in New York. Platinum was 6.4 percent lower at $1,354oz., and silver was 9.3 percent lower at $12.41oz. The U.S. unemployment picture gave gold a boost after the metal spent much of the week in decline. Gold slipped below $790oz on September 3 as oil fell and the dollar index rose slightly to 79.08.  More bad news from the employment outlook in the U.S. today initially gave gold a $20oz jump, but it quickly retreated with an hour to within a range of $805-$809oz. >>>

One of the best ways to attract people to your store is through public and media relations. Email can be a great tool to send your press releases quickly and efficiently, but it's important to utilize it in a way that turns your press release into positive coverage, versus fodder for the SPAM folder. At the JCK Voices blog, JCK Magazine Editor-in-Chief Hedda Schupak discusses how to send press releases in "Email Etiquette: How To Get Good P.R. Exposure."  Here's what she advises to start thriving with press coverage: >>>

Nobody gets hurt more by these spending changes in the world of jewelry.>>>

There are many diamond grading labs on the market today, all with varying levels of grading consistency and accuracy. The most well known "brand" diamond grading lab and considered by many to be the best is the GIA (Gemological Institute of America).
