Gold vs. Diamonds - What is the Sounder Investment?
By JessicaC Diamond Price Guide Sep 12, 2011
 With the recent increase
in gold prices, precious metal retailers and traders have reported a marked increase in customer demand for gold jewelry as more and more consumers are looking to invest in what appears to have replaced diamonds in demand and in popularity. The recent increase in gold prices is a direct result of the gap that has formed between customer demand for polished and rough diamonds and diamond set jewelry and the diamond and precious gemstone industry's inability to keep up with the demand for these commodities. >>>

Security in and around the jewelry store By James Alperin National Jeweler Sep 6, 2011
 It's getting to be the holiday season again, and while by now you have already done most of your buying for the season and started to think about your advertising budget, it's also time to review your security. The old jeweler's joke about someone coming to your store late for an appointment and saying, " Sorry, I was held up," and the jeweler responds, " Never say held up to a jeweler," always gets a laugh from the customer. But, in reality, our security is something all of us need to be aware of. >>> |

Diamond Digital Watch - a Pretty Neat Idea
By Stonechicky The Israeli Diamond Industry Blog Sep 12, 2011
 Douglas Adams' classic Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes the Earth as an "utterly insignificant little blue green plant" populated by ape-descended life forms that still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

By Rob Bates
JCK Sep 8, 2011
 I have a friend who sells on eBay. She has found that when she writes "stories" about her products, the sale price goes up. That bodes very well for Christie's Dec. 13-15 auction of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection, where virtually all the pieces have colorful histories, some of which we recount here. There are the diamonds Taylor won in a game of ping pong, pieces she wore to the Academy Awards, the list goes on. >>>

Wearing color speaks more clearly about her personality than white diamond jewelry and it is for this customer that I have been designing Color Story. But not every risk taker has the same taste or style. I design my collections to appeal to women in every walk of life. More |
