Jewelers Say Mother's Day Business Up

By Rob Bates and Lindsey Wojcik                   JCK                  May 09, 2011      

 

Consumers were generally feeling upbeat and spending for Mother's Day, according to a spot-check of jewelers conducted by JCK. Mother's Day sales "were fabulous compared to last year," says Mike Warren, owner of Warren Jewellers in Lancaster, Pa. "Number one was Pandora. Pandora is just explosive. We had Pandora last year, but we're doing better than last year. In addition, once we sell Pandora we try to show them Hearts on Fire and Tacori." >>>

Survey: Strong sales drive show attendance  

National Jeweler                                                             May 09, 2011  

 

Sales have improved over the past 12 months for the majority of retail jewelers, and the improvement is expected to continue through the rest of the year, a survey conducted by The Nielsen Expositions Jewelry Group shows. More than half of those polled said their sales have increased either slightly (37 percent) or significantly (17 percent) over the past 12 months. >>>



Macramé, Crochet & Jewelry   

By Cynthia Sliwa                                JCK                             May 09, 2011

 

Inspired by the 1970s, texture goes to new depths with designs constructed of macramé and crochet this season. The texture adds interest to a muted color palette that stands in contrast to the neons and bright hues running on a parallel fashion track. These openwork woven designs can present the practical issue of catching on anything less than completely smooth (be mindful of earring dangles, bracelet clasps and watch stems!), but jewelry chosen with care is proving to be the perfect finishing touch.>>>


Diamond pen to be sold at Bonhams auction        

By Michelle Graff                      National Jeweler                    May 05, 2011

 

International auctioneer Bonham & Butterfields has announced the May sale of exceptional writing instruments, which will feature a diverse selection of fine and fountain pens, primarily Montblancs.>>>


I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Gemfind for the fine job they did in developing my new website. I personally had very little knowledge in the computer industry, and with the help of Anthony Arechiga of Gemfind, I have a full running and successful website. Anthony was good enough, and patient enough, to help me through not just developmental problems but also guiding me through simple computer challenges. I would recommend Gemfind to anyone, at anytime for a solid, professional website development program.

The Zsa Zsa to Remember  

By Carly Wickell                                                About.com Guide  

 

Zsa Zsa Gabor's active role in Hollywood was winding down when I was born, but I've seen lots of clips of the actress during my lifetime, including audio of her trademark Dahhling, the name the Hungarian-born Gabor called most people she spoke to during interviews.

Born in 1917, Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times (although one, to Felipe de Alba, lasted only a day and was annulled). >>>
