As an investor, marketer, or business decision-maker, your personal and company
fiscal health depends on knowing how the U.S. economy will behave in the quarters
to come.  If this describes you, Unity Marketing's proprietary Luxury Consumption
Index (LCI) is the tool you need to predict changes in the luxury consumer market,
as well as the overall U.S. economy and GDP. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

When the jeweler Irene Neuwirth lent the actress
Octavia Spencer a pair of earrings to wear at the Golden Globes award ceremony in

As Facebook quickly approaches one billion active users, it is becoming an essential
marketing tool for businesses of all sizes.  Jewelry stores are using social
media and Facebook in particular to attract new business and connect with customers
- but many are finding it to be nothing more than a great waste of time! linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rKIyLjqCwP1IVvGg6KB3wafijmTuER-MSCFLwuk-syjcWuRWlxmiHneVzkzTR2VFfzhMge3r78wduAZuev9a3ZSYeJ_1EWWnZ8J6noqqtcloZb4jxGI5kOfOvkjKMuJJvlOEZVTJVHNYDo5wC3luWae6Y4tzPNaPADewuBtGJmLFC-YLm7MxGbamAA0SDciPI9tewbRzDNPNNf2WNm7HXHdxtabvGh_TFgmrwY80elPYILQ2yCE7gA=="

It didn't take very long after the World Diamond Council (WDC) and the Kimberley
Process (KP) expressed their support for broadening the definition of "conflict"
diamond for the first sign of resistance to surface. The day after the news emerged
from Vicenza, The Times of India ran a story stating the Indian gems and jewelry
industry is ready to "lock its horns" over the proposal. shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rKIyLjqCwP1IVvGg6KB3wafijmTuER-MSCFLwuk-syjcWuRWlxmiHneVzkzTR2VFfzhMge3r78xxDtsarmWRorf1SWG6gejq2q68Fcfo_U3uEDZYRG6-P5WphWE41nbPYYUxG0i3SqdMKB5Thl8i9jzirRrd1RbjHW75evGs0Muxmh7FqNhzKaOfTzcrQfiW"

Everyone knows that polished diamonds elegantly draped across your skin are a
thing of beauty. But will I be any prettier if teeny-tiny diamonds actually penetrate
my skin's surface and bond to my molecules?

How F-Commerce Failed Retailers
By Michael Schechter  
       May 2012 issue of JCK magazine     

name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2685" style="text-align: left;">

From the instant that brand pages were launched on Facebook, savvy online retailers
have had a single question: Can we monetize the site? Can we take our products and
sell them directly on our page? As jewelry retailers and national brands determine
their online selling strategies and dedicate time and resources to those efforts,
it's only logical that they would ask themselves these very questions. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rKIyLjqCwP1IVvGg6KB3wafijmTuER-MSCFLwuk-syjcWuRWlxmiHneVzkzTR2VFfzhMge3r78wduAZuev9a3TKl84y-TOAK_ecJDIg_jjR55OqgOHYR14dbN4iXoQbGuxvicb6BGGmuGneDzfOAZBFbjIg1KLMzhPyyq0pWbGbVzdrvEXGH7PEdXu5GegVdTHytjiEq4AHi74FOb9cHBWsUcZwM89Y9k_H3uorxTKmkRsNp9a8abLGUcbs3B-QmECRTY4xxDyVFwFU6s0qQ28xHGClcJB167w1v3j3lHQ93b_T_RO7MnM-KIiPhO4yN9ENk3JSYl7pK6TjkOuKizQ=="
