Whiteflash Selected to Host Historic Esperanza Diamond

HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 18, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Whiteflash announced today that they have been selected to host the historic Esperanza Diamond in Houston, Texas on its cross-country tour of American Gem Society (AGS) member stores. The one-of-a-kind diamond will be on display in the Whiteflash Houston jewelry store in Sugar Land Town Square February 3-7, 2016.

The Esperanza is the most important diamond ever found in the United States. It was unearthed in June of 2015 in Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. Special arrangements were made to have the rough diamond crystal cut and polished locally to preserve its "born and raised in Arkansas" status. Adding to its All American provenance, it was cut by master diamond cutter Mike Botha of Embee Diamonds, an American Gem Society member. It was graded at the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) and is being hosted on its journey across America exclusively by AGS member stores.

The unique icicle shaped crystal weighed 8.52 carats, the 4th largest crystal ever found in the USA, and yielded a perfectly colorless and internally flawless finished diamond of 4.605 carats graded D IF by AGSL. (GIA report also available). The exotic Triolette shape of the finished diamond features 147 facets, and the diamond is set into a custom designed platinum pendant as unique as the diamond itself. It was designed by Ian Douglas and crafted in the USA by Byard F. Brogan, both of whom are also AGS members.

The Esperanza diamond, which may be worth in excess of $1M dollars, will be sold to the highest bidder in a silent auction style process with bids submitted by interested buyers through one of the AGS member stores hosting the tour. Parties interested in acquiring a rare, world-class, and wearable piece of Americana can contact Whiteflash for more information and receive a bidding form. Bids will be accepted through Valentine's Day - February 14, 2016.

Whiteflash Vice-president and Graduate Gemologist Bryan Boyne had this to say about the event. "We are honored and thrilled to have been chosen to host the Esperanza in greater Houston - the fourth largest market in America. For Whiteflash to be forever connected with this exceptional gem, and with American diamond history, is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity."

AquaSonic Wave Adds Sparkle to Daytime Emmy Awards

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 15, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- This year's Daytime Emmy's stars will walk away with trophies and accolades as well as learning about a revolutionary new invention, The AquaSonic Wave. Co-created by Dean Kamen, creator of the Segway, and Master Jeweler David Bellman, the AquaSonic Wave provides a novel, time-effective way to keep diamonds and other precious jewelry sparkling like new.

Celebrities at the 42nd annual Daytime Emmy(R) Awards will be introduced to the AquaSonic Wave at the event and many of the VIPs will receive their own personal units as gifts. The show takes place Sunday, April 26, 2015, and is being held on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, Calif. Hosted by Tyra Banks, it will be broadcast live on poptv.com.

Just picked up by high-end retailer Brookstone, the AquaSonic Wave system is rapidly garnering favorable attention from those in the know in the jewelry business.

"You see, the dirty little secret of the industry is that most people's jewelry is very dirty," Bellman states. "It also is a prime carrier of bacteria at a level so high that it can create a serious health hazard for people in their personal and public lives. The AquaSonic Wave introduces an inexpensive, cost effective way to clean jewelry at the professional level, right in the comfort of your home," Bellman adds.

"I've owned one of the top 50 jewelry stores in America for over thirty years," Bellman notes. "I've always been amazed at how much my customer's jewelry was in need of professional level cleaning. Dean Kamen and I used all of our combined expertise and experiences to come up with a modern, usable approach to cleaning diamonds and other precious jewelry. The AquaSonic Wave is a game changer."

Bellman will be in attendance at the Daytime Emmys to help explain and service the gifting to Emmy winners and nominees. "I'm coming from the snowy East Coast to enjoy the California sunshine and help share the ASW with the stars of television. It should be sparkling, clean fun."

B2C Jewel’s New ‘Perfection’ Diamonds include Scientific Proof of Performance

NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- B2C Jewels, carrying an online inventory of over 150,000 diamonds, announced today they are raising the consumer-confidence bar by providing advanced photos for their new "Perfection" Ideal Cut diamonds. Offered at www.b2cjewels.com, no other diamond retailer of their size provides such images for online diamonds. Where many sellers post only laboratory reports for diamonds offered, B2C Jewels is now photographing thousands of diamonds in their inventory, to the delight of shoppers.

"Of course it involves time and expense," says Jay Reshamwala, Director of B2C's New York Office, "but the indisputable confidence it builds in consumers is worth the effort." He says the benefits are obvious. "A picture is worth a thousand words. We show an actual zoomed image of the diamond you're buying, along with scientific photos proving that it will have breathtaking beauty." Reshamwala confirms that every diamond in B2C's Perfection brand has a complete web-page with a suite of images. These images are also included for many other inventory items. "With more than 100,000 diamonds offered we don't have them all posted," he says, "but we do have thousands up, and images may be requested for any diamond we offer."

Perfection diamonds include an actual magnified diamond image, an American Gem Society ASET(TM) performance image, a Holloway Ideal-Scope(TM) performance image, and "Hearts & Arrows" optical precision images. Collectively, these images show clarity features, levels of light-return (versus light leaking from the diamond) and how precisely (or imprecisely) the diamond was cut in a three-dimensional sense, which impacts the intensity of internal reflections.

According to Reshamwala, every "Perfection" branded diamond falls within the top 1 percent of commonly agreed cut parameters modeled in-line with the conclusions of Marcel Tolkowsky, the mathematician who created the benchmark for maximizing brightness, fire, and scintillation in a round brilliant diamond. "Perfection diamonds are all about the highest levels of technical cut-quality."

B2C Jewels cites Perfection's "Four Ps" as Process, Proof, Pedigree and Promise. These refer to the selectivity, highly-regarded GIA grading report, demonstrable scientific photos and satisfaction guarantees which accompany Perfection. "Of course the fifth P is price," says Reshamwala. "In addition to providing modern shoppers with more data than any competitor of our size, we believe our price-point remains the most competitive in the business."

Shoppers can view all performance data from any location on their device of choice at http://www.b2cjewels.com/ . More details on the Perfection brand can be found at http://www.b2cjewels.com/Perfection-diamonds-by-b2cjewels.aspx .

About B2C Jewels:

B2C Jewels, established on the unique idea of making online purchase of jewelry easier, has grown to become one of the largest and most respected online jewelry stores. It is backed by a family which has been in the diamond industry as renowned manufacturers and wholesalers for the past 20 years. B2C Jewels takes pride in offering hassle-free online shopping with all the benefits of a traditional retailer.

Newly launched Jovare brings 100-percent hand crafted and unique jewelry to the U.S.

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Nov. 10, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Introducing Jovare, a collection of handcrafted, affordable jewelry from Africa that caters to the woman who wants a distinctive look. Suitable for both casual and formal wear, the jewelry will be sold online exclusively at www.jovare.com. It will not be available in retail stores.

Every piece of Jovare jewelry is made by hand, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Jovare products are crafted from solid brass and copper, and are never plated. Combining the two metals creates striking, one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Most pieces are matched with gemstones native to the African continent, but the artists do incorporate quality synthetic stones to meet the demand for more colorful gems. The collection includes earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces, with prices ranging from the mid-$30s to the mid-$70s.

Jovare was founded with the larger purpose of building a thriving market for South African artisans. The intent is to spawn opportunities to train more artists and provide them with the means to support their families financially.

Jovare works only with fair-trade suppliers that employ the artists at a higher-than-average wage. The artists also receive a percentage of sales. In addition, Jovare pays for inventory in advance, helping vendors struggling to finance their businesses.

Jovare customers can feel good knowing they are helping the artists even as they enjoy a unique piece of wearable art. Jovare was found on the principal of providing unique quality fashion jewelry pieces at an affordable price to customers in the U.S. Each piece is unique, so when you wear it, you can be confident no one else will have anything like it.

No dyes are used. Extreme heat creates the jewelry's interesting patterns and effects. Wires and bangles are bendable, so they adjust to every fit. And because each stone is contained in its own "case," no amount of bending will make the stone fall out.

The jewelry will last a lifetime, allowing customers to express their uniqueness through designs that are timeless.

About Jovare:

Jovare(TM) imports and sells unique but affordable jewelry from Africa online at http://jovare.com/ . Handmade by skilled craftsmen, the jewelry is designed for women who refuse to compromise on the finer details of their appearance.

Segoma’s Next Generation Diamond Display Technology

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 28, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Segoma Imaging Technologies will be launching its next generation of diamond 360 imaging technology later this year. Segoma Imaging Technologies has revolutionized the diamond industry by providing diamond traders and buyers with what they really need: the ability to view any diamond - exactly as it is - in 360 degrees.

When it comes to evaluating a diamond's shape, color, clarity, beauty and sparkle, viewing a diamond photographed by Segoma in 360 degrees is as holding the stone in your hand. This proprietary technology replaces the need to evaluate diamonds in person, saving countless shipping hours and unnecessary flights around the world.

Segoma is already an established name for digital diamond display. Many savvy customers already demand "a Segoma" from traders and manufacturers before they contemplate finalizing a purchase. Segoma reports that since the beginning of this year, already two and a half million potential buyers have viewed almost a hundred thousand of Segoma images, resulting in millions of dollars in sales.

Ever since Segoma launched its first generation cutting-edge diamond imagery, competitors have worked tirelessly to try and replicate the same success. Segoma's images are completely authentic - they do not undergo any image processing or manipulation and/or aesthetic enhancements. What you see is what you get.

"Our first generation of diamond scanners were built to document reality and ensure accuracy, transparency and security. Our next generation of automatic diamond scanners give the ability to see a diamond from all sides while allowing to see the exact shape color clarity and cut of a diamond in a way which was never before possible, even better than our first generation," says Litan Yahav, CEO of Segoma. "Gone are the days of sending physical diamonds to prospective buyers. It costs too much, the risk is too high, and there is a more efficient way. Our diamond scanners now enable to capture diamonds in all their magnificence - at the highest possible resolution - to make inspecting a diamond an ease and a pleasure."

Segoma's photography centers are located within the main diamond bourses in the world - Mumbai, New York and Ramat Gan - allowing diamond dealers the flexibility to send diamonds directly and receive them back on the next business day.
