JCK Vegas signals Good Signs

June 04, 2012
name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2728" style="text-align: left;">
The JCK Vegas Show unfolded on June 1, 2012. Its first day concluded with the hope
that the U.S. market could be stabilizing, Diamond World reported in its Weekly
E-post. The good news comes from the fact that exhibitors have lined up new product
lines and innovations, there was good footfall, and enquiries prevailed on the first
day across diamonds and price points, and for bridal jewellery. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001McIZYE3yK76Twy_J8t6Pbnye0tbaRRpFJG8BU6KSuyiSMp2j2jVp9nS6wKBVrgwPz7pZqJyMOyZnKm2Lnl2WJ92YCiST4xzUvfQW97vKLMdmJaQByyQWZpTHwiGq7KP1aTAHIkLVTVE07EKIINdEzQ=="

Given worries about future diamond supply,

why IDEX Online CEO Abraham Stern has urged retailers to begin buying back diamonds

3 Insurance Gambles That Put
Your Business at Risk
By
Entrepreneur
June 01, 2012
name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2723" style="text-align: left;"> Much like sunscreen, business insurance is one of those things you don't realize
how important it is until you've been burned: A lot of entrepreneurs don't have
it, and those who do, may not be fully covered. While large corporations have staffers
specifically trained to be sure the business is protected adequately, small business

The morning started like any other for the traveling jewelry salesman as he checked
out of a motel in northern Virginia and placed his luggage in the car's trunk. Then
a Honda blocked him in and two black-clad men in hoods emerged, smashed his windows
with a pistol and robbed him of roughly $350,000 in jewelry. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001McIZYE3yK76Twy_J8t6Pbnye0tbaRRpFJG8BU6KSuyiSMp2j2jVp9nS6wKBVrgwPz7pZqJyMOyaW_wZVztbQlfFJSYzCQJZ97blA-KfDo9Yl_Yo0u7obiZp1iRV4WY-rx0h1psvdNRahjdZepT7OaqwkhSqmagz0zQraLdUJJCOtFv9d4XqePpH9bwTGv5os80DDSAmfIgDiUEFuc6EJuXWErE_JgTu3"

What Retailers Need to Know About
Mobile POS Systems
By Emili Vesilind

May 31, 2012
name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2720" style="text-align: left;">
Mobile point-of-sale (POS) systems, which allow retailers to process credit cards
on tablets and smartphones, among other things, have been around for years. But
since technology in mobile commerce moves at speeds rivaling those of a teenage
cheetah, many early mobile POS systems-which had limited accounting capabilities
or not-quite-harmonious synching capabilities-have gone the way of the buffalo.

When my first son was very young and very sick and spending too much time in operating

Red Alert: The Lead Glass-Filled Ruby Saga Continues

When the Federal Trade Commission announced plans in April to revise its Guides
for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries, last updated in 1996, Craig
Lynch was beyond pleased. The owner of Ouellet & Lynch, a Phoenix-based consulting
and appraisal firm, knows plenty of retail jewelers who've encountered lead glass-filled
rubies sold as natural stones-and he's eager to see the issue addressed by the authorities.
