IDEX Online Research: Tiffany to Use U.S. Slowdown as an
Opportunity for Growth
Ken Gassman, March 31, 2008
When Mike
Kowalski, Tiffany's chairman, stated that "the future is obscured
by so much uncertainty and pessimism," it is safe to say that he
was speaking for most everyone in the diamond and jewelry industry. But
Kowalski has taken a different attitude about the current environment:
rather than hand-wringing and worrying, he views this as an opportunity
for Tiffany & Co.

Know - How
Is eBay Offering Commodities? Good Question...
Jewelry News, Monday, March 31,
2008
Windsor
Auctions, Inc. and Jewelry Auctions, Inc., filed an unfair
competition/antitrust action in December 2007 against eBay. In
response, attorneys representing eBay filed a motion to dismiss
Windsor/Jewelry Auctions action. In filing their motion to dismiss,
eBay's attorneys have argued that eBay is not subject to the
Robinson-Patman Antitrust Act, as they do not offer commodities.
Interestingly enough, eBay may have opened the door to writing law,
which may have its disadvantages for future litigations to come. >>>

U.S. GOVERNMENT VIEWS ON LAUNDERING IN THE DIAMOND
INDUSTRY
Tacy Ltd, March
27, 2008
Once a year, the
U.S. Department of State presents the U.S. Congress with an almost 1,000-page
report on the state-of-the-world from a narcotics trade and money
laundering perspective. Ostensibly there is little or no reason for
diamonds to become an issue in this report, but in the just-released
2008 edition, one gets the impression that things aren't well in the
diamond world. >>>

rough"
Melana Yanos , March 27, 2008
 This volatile

access to a tremendous amount of capital and high tolerance of
risk.Diamonds have been notoriously difficult to sell on the resale
market at a profit; in order to make money, diamond investors need to
find a buyer who is willing to pay more for their stone than they did. >>>
