A few weeks ago, a parcel of 600 synthetic diamonds was submitted to the IGI in
Antwerp without proper disclosure, sparking a flurry of concern and industry press
releases. A few things made this parcel interesting. First of all, it consisted
of only lab-grown gems. It wasn't "salted" with naturals. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001-JjOTg7jAg4eryveeltvM6JOcpgRYQqjiz9eFIJGo9wENaRN8vi9bnMpYbdDl2VL2l7a6kKXfMEtntGBWLXsatV7EacBsz3sSV1z8Vj_af_IHZERMrWn5VhcuODlcaOKyMDFdifIPXuwEe7R5Vk6rksBm6Sr7LFyxmd54Pw6LTv3nziJCJmWR_lkRJkHcTVQKSKWWp6SxY4SbC-SY7L9S91f1jsKlvAQ6yzj4wLmmg_fvL2F_NKbg8v7kw2MgSyN4OaO7vQSIxk4DH8Bdae5KN8RtnZLCav9__hANh8C9oPig8Hs4F7TQnW80O_MKlgK0Q_Wqf_DuSh6BwH0AKut2SNVJm2RuzDMzzLAaUIazogV9tyBZY7qfiJ7VE_qg2Br_yQYJdr8qhlPm8hESZU--Q=="

The Diamond Dealers Club said it is "profoundly
distressed" by reports that lab-made diamonds have been sold as natural diamonds.
"The failure of members of our trade to identify synthetics can have a severe negative
impact on consumer confidence in our business," said DDC President Reuven Kaufman.

Halo Engagement Rings

name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2742" style="text-align: left;">
The term halo accurately describes this popular style of engagement ring, with a
focal stone (not always a diamond) that's surrounded by smaller gems, which create
the halo. Focal gems vary in shape, and include round, square and rectangular stones.
Some halo engagement rings have additional diamonds encircling the band. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001-JjOTg7jAg4eryveeltvM6JOcpgRYQqjiz9eFIJGo9wENaRN8vi9bnMpYbdDl2VL2l7a6kKXfME8Jb9Gf1P22dlDDCrsdOOYpV2eo56lxLPhN-vF46Rocs-qKWUk1Og1PdNm5ZW0olX8oXgfqW_m6-6zl8iIoV21oYxg-o42Yp93-9q2c2OlKam-jclrsl5nGKx3Vt-5G1U="

1944 by Mr. William Levine, William Levine Inc. has been a powerhouse in the loose
diamond business. During the early years, Mr. Levine established an Antwerp office
and created an increasingly important presence in the Israeli diamond market. After
WWII, it was the diamond house of William Levine Inc. that pioneered the practice
of giving generous memo terms to jewelers.

That's the advice consumers receive whether they're buying a car, appliance or home.
It's also sound advice when it comes to selling gold, precious metals and old jewelry.
A check with local jewelry stores and two gold-buying businesses, including one
out-of-town company that set up shop at the Hampton Inn, revealed a wide price range
on a 14-karat gold class ring. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(140, 140, 106); font-style: italic;
