With the first luxury trade show in the rear-view mirror, GemFind is pleased to announce the Centurion Show was a successful start into 2014 industry events. GemFind was a key sponsor for the event, giving the company's range of services prominence during the five-day event. And, in keeping with the Centurion Super Bowl tradition, GemFind brought a number of footballs for attendees.
 

Just in time for the Centurion Show, GemFind's development team made significant changes to the GemFind.com website. More changes will be made to the website in the next month to make the website more streamlined. 

GemFind's Builder programs have updates to share. Responsive versions of Stud Builder and Pendant Builder are now in final testing. Responsive versions of Ring Builder® and Diamond Link have had more improvements released. GemFind is making a big push to standardize versions of its tools so everyone is running on the latest version.

I've seen it twice.  Once in the early '80s, and then again starting in 2007.  What I'm talking about is the out of control gold prices that set off a mad panic and creates a gold rush.  Through the last 4 or 5 years, I didn't participate in it. >>>
