By EDAHN GOLAN                         Idex                   February 07, 2013  


Hardly anything trumps bad news, especially if it's full of blood and gore. Everyone rubbernecks to see the damage when passing a car accident. Serious twisted wreckage makes us slow down even more to get a longer look at the disaster. Bad news is great, especially for a news outlet. >>>

Once upon a time, over the hills and far away, humankind found a diamond. Since then people have tried to illustrate the beauty of a diamond. Yet diamonds are indescribable as it is impossible to capture all the luster of a diamond in just a few words. >>>

By Brad Huisken                           Southern Jewelry News                         February  2013              


It's time to step it up and quit making excuses about the economy, the state of the industry, the building bust, etc. or you may find yourself stepping aside!  I say this with the highest degree of respect for the industry and the people within it. >>>

By Laura Lake                                 About.com Guide                            February 10, 2013
