The diamond industry ended the first quarter of 2012 with a sense of relief. Trading
has been steady but cautious and prices in March were relatively firm. While business
has not been booming, it could have been worse. The preceding third and fourth quarter
of 2011 certainly were. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

For most of last week, I was at Gemological Institute of America's Carlsbad campus,
getting an exclusive glimpse into the organization's training sessions for law enforcement.
For those of you unfamiliar with this now-annual program, every year the GIA brings
20 or so officers, all personally selected by the FBI, to Carlsbad for training
about the basics of our business, to better train them to stop jewelry-related crime.

Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaners
By Carly Wickell
About.com Guide
April 8, 2012
name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2593" style="text-align: left;">Ultrasonic jewelry cleanersuse sound waves that are beyond a human's ability to hear to create tiny vacuum
bubbles in water or a cleanser. The bubbles collapse, creating a great deal of heat
and pressure, and 'blast' nearby objects. Millions of the little bubbles reach into
even intricate areas of all items in the solution, making the process an effective
cleansing tool for jewelry and its components. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

It's common enough for family members to be pitted against one another in court
battles when an elderly relative passes on and leaves behind a few pieces of diamond
jewelry. Now imagine the eye-gouging that takes place when the inheritance left
behind is two of the most unique and beautiful collections of diamonds in the world,
thought to be worth $14 million. The stones are pretty; the squabbling isn't.
