It's December, and diamond markets are eyeing inventory levels across the pipeline,
characteristically hopeful that the holiday season will sufficiently trigger stronger
buying in 2013. Stronger being a relative term as trading has been dulled by caution
throughout 2012. track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">

Alfredo J. Molina is a man of many facets. He's a tough and savvy jeweler hellbent
on joining Cartier, Tiffany and Harry Winston among the industry's iconic names.
He's a soft-hearted philanthropist who has given away millions. He's
a son of Cuba who fled after the revolution without so much as a change of clothes,
never mind any knowledge of English. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

retailers to collect sales tax-said they hope to pass the measure this year.An effort
to add the measure to a defense authorization bill failed, reports say. But Senator

still has a chance of passage before the end of 2012. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OLu334hekwRwPFwGfdwR6ia5cE1yyDJ75YiMDZL8YTT_nQ-XPeUoy4fQo7za8zxoYCjHPQmCZI8KflIN2I7PCX3XTUcfagiANF4ngj0CN3g2Bkjx9nUVXpRKoMoEKDg8XSJI622Z8d9_BZCN9rdNAc8XWGY4qOQBzaN56kyFvSKU-ZOk7EGIsJYpVausV6OFbRMCfu_BBF0gJXNnFlyF7csCuyY5OLnzdu4UAoI_ESaf_lp3kkJ7jHRSSXOxYiRVj0CenxOkKoXFkoNdJlwz6chi5RO6hFFyM96IffOsMo2muXa-vCpB37_U2sRTuh_z9OHTRfmrgvCKW_DlOqV92vQoCT0KNUYtnPr-vlR1ftw="

Forty years ago, there was an American television series called The Six Million
Dollar Man, in which an astronaut's body is destroyed in an accident and then reconstructed
using mechanical parts, which give him super-strength, super-speed and super-senses.

In the spirit of the retail season, with only weeks to go until Christmas, I offer
these four Christmas sales tips to entice shoppers into your store (and out of the
big boxes). 1) Offer one big bargain a day. Offering big discounts (30% or more)
on some one well-known item each day to bring Christmas shoppers in can work for
you if you have well-known brand merchandise or particular items that people are
looking for. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(140, 140, 106); font-style: italic;

Well, well, well, here we are once again at the most important time of the year
for the jewelry industry. That time of the year that brings out
the best of the crazy in people. That time of the year when normal
people decide to show their craziness right out in the open... usually in my store.
