In his latest letter to investors of Berkshire Hathaway, the investment firm's chairman
Warren Buffett seemingly warned that the price of gold was heading for a correction,
arguing that bubbles "inevitably pop.""As 'bandwagon' investors join any party,
they create their own truth - for a while," the famed "Oracle of Omaha" warned.

Although nature created the colored diamond, in today's marketplace that diamond
is just a beautiful stone without ancestry. It must earn its pedigree in the form

for the U.S. market, a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) cert is the most widely
used. track="off" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">
