No leads in brazen $28 million Paris jewelry heist

PARIS

The cheapest piece they stole was a platinum ring worth €2,000. The most expensive item: a €3.2 million diamond-studded bracelet.

A brazen and meticulously planned robbery of the Harry Winston store in central Paris last weekend netted the unknown thieves about €20 million, or $28.4 million, in gems, one of the largest jewelry thefts ever, French investigators said Thursday, following an inventory of the raided safe.

You can dive into jewelry from treasures of the sea all over Hawaii

By Brian Charlton, 10/14/2007

IT STARTED as a simple dive shop in 1958, taking tourists and locals on scuba tours in the Pacific Ocean off Maui. But a year after opening for business, Maui Divers workers found what resembled a black bush in deep waters off the Molokai Channel.

Maui Divers began harvesting the black coral, gave up the scuba tours, and opened jewelry stores to sell the coral in rings, pendants and necklaces. The company is now the world's largest manufacturer of black coral jewelry and Hawaii's largest jewelry retailer. It has more than 60 stores and kiosks in nearly every tourist spot in the islands, from the Dole Plantation on Oahu to the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Visitor Center on the Big Island. Story

How Much Product Should I Show On My Web Site?
Posted by Suze Bragg  
October 11, 2007

 

 get this question a lot: how much product should I place on my web site when I have thousands and thousands of SKUs?  I always tell them that depends on what you're trying to accomplish.  Do you want to test merchandise to see if there's any interest in it (do people search for it, do they look at the product on your site) or do you want to alert your customers that you have the product and to come into the store to buy it?  Or is your top goal being an online retail store that sells all your merchandise?  More

Why Do Jewelry Stores Lose Salespeople??

Posted by Judah Gutwein on October 9, 2007

Just finished reading an article by Harry Friedman in one of this months industry magazines.
He talks about the well known fact regarding the unusually high turnover rate of salespeople in many jewelry stores.

The reality is that salespeople in a typical jewelry store come and go almost as frequently (and as painfully) as your Mother-In-Law.
Why is it that jewelry stores have a problem with retaining salespeople? More

When 'Push' Comes to Marketing Shove 

Cheryl Kremkow, Editor-In-Chief, "Modern Jeweler" October 13, 2007

Gifts to celebrate the birth of a child are a growing grassroots tradition and your biggest untapped jewelry marketing opportunity.

Back in my days of realized fertility, when a wife gave birth, she didn't receive a diamond-encrusted "thank you" gem from her husband.

She may have gotten flowers, a teary declaration of eternal love and devotion, a new heavy duty Maytag washer, or even an enthusiastic promise to stop eyeing other dames - but she didn't get a costly "Atta girl!" prize.More

 

 

 

 

Traveling Jewelry Salesman - Sitting Ducks?
By: John LaRouche Sunday, October 14

The news has been ripe with reports of jewelry salesman being robbed at gunpoint. In fact, jewelry salesman can be carrying more in jewelry, gems and diamonds than an armored truck.

One-of-a-kind designs now available at Stacy's Fine Jewelry
Jim Romsaas: Sunday, October 14th, 2007

 

VIRGINIA - The purchase of new jewelry designing equipment by Stacy's Fine Jewelry in Virginia has provided the firm with cutting edge technology.

The use of that CAD/CAM software and milling machine by Gemvision will enable the jewelry store to create one-of-a-kind designs for its customers.

"The only limit is the human mind,'' said owner Stacy Niemi, who just celebrated 11 years in business.

Prior to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, designs were sketched on paper before the jewelry was replicated in the wax machine. With sketching, there is much more room for error, she added. Story
