Congratulations...

Largest, Sold Out IWJG Show in NY

International Watch & Jewelry Guild

Beginning today, IWJG (The International Watch and Jewelry Guild) hosts its largest show in New York… ever! From July 27th – 28th at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York, NY.  The best of the best in fine vintage jewellery, luxury timepieces and diamonds have gathered from all around the world for the sold-out show. 

The sold-out IWJG Show has attracted jewelers from all around the world, as we heard from our VP yesterday, who chatted with a few other exhibitors who had flown from Asia to be part of the incredible event. While the event coordinators provided exhibitors with their badge and security essentials yesterday, visitors crowded around in an apparent foreshadowing of the record-breaking turnout!

We predict the hottest items at this show will be Patek Philippe watches, Rolex Watches, loose diamonds and signed designer jewelry. – Lee Josephson, Vice President

Rapaport Group: Re-Distributed Jewelry Industry Reporting

RAPAPORT, JUNE 22, 2011: Inflation Pressures Jewelry Prices

From: rapaportgroup  | Jun 23, 2011  | 95 views

RAPAPORT...

"Jewelry inflation in the U.S. continues as the price of precious metals and diamonds climb. According to comScore, the popularity of online video and the ever-changing habits of viewers present an opportunity to advertise your brand.

A report from Rice University associate professor of management, Utpal Dholakia, businesses can gain traction using "daily deals" websites, but there are many elements a brand must consider. Over the next few years, it is likely that daily deal sites will have to settle for lower shares of revenues from businesses compared with their current levels, and it will be harder and more expensive for them to find viable candidates to fill their pipelines of daily deals, according to Dholakia. In his third study - the most exhaustive study done to date on the daily deals industry - Dholakia found that there is very little difference between companies in the ever-expanding competition for consumer dollars, and it will be difficult for any one site to stand out from the others." - News broadcasts from Rapaport Group

http://raymondleejewelersblog.com/2011/07/11/scott-rothstein-auction-preview-rapid-reporting-hot-off-the-auction-block-via-raymond-lee-jewelers/

The Sun Sentinel reporter covering this intriguing ponzi scheme plot discussed with Mr. Josephson a few key pieces of this high-profile auction. Of those pieces, a woman’s fancy yellow 12-carat diamond ring, platinum diamond bracelet with 41 emerald-cut diamond and a 10 carat heart-shaped diamond pendant necklace were all given a general assessment. 

The fancy yellow diamond ring was estimated to be worth nearly a quarter of a million dollars, comparative to the cost of a “couple of Ferraris.” 

These items, amongst a vast collection of designer watches and luxurious cigar accessories will be up for auction come July 13, 2011.

Three Essentials for Mens Shorts – Summer Fashion 2011

Summer is officially in full swing, especially here in the humid swamplands of South Florida. Celebration of the heat is easily found with a day on the beach or cooling off with buddies at a pool-side cook out, so you’ll get no complaints about the sunshine here. However, thick denim jeans aren’t going to keep you cool while you try to kick back. 

Shorts have been big all year round for mens fashion trends this year, but the summer variations are taking a specifically textured, structured, bold appearance that is pretty righteous.  

The best trends in men’s shorts this Summer are defined by the presence of one to three of the following elements: texture, pattern and color.
