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."

Eastern Pennsylvania Now Sports Latest in Tattoo Revisions

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., June 5, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Rejuvatek Medical, Inc., Sandy, Utah, announced the opening of their latest Tatt2Away(R) center in Eastern Pennsylvania at Marc's Tattooing & Body Piercing. Tatt2Away offers a patented, innovative alternative to laser tattoo removal that is less painful, less costly, and more effective at removing all tattoo colors of pigment.

Marc's Tattooing & Body Piercing, with 4 locations covering the Eastern region of Pennsylvania, has been the area's industry trusted name in professionalism and artistry for over 25 years. Over that time, Steve Gulbin and Jon Owens, partners of Marc's Tattooing, have witnessed thousands of piercing and tattoo jobs through their doors, and noticed an increase in much of their business was clients exploring ways to cover up or re-imagine a current tattoo.

"We really wanted to find an easy, less expensive way to remove or enhance some of this unfortunate work," says Gulbin. "Jon and I were on the hunt for a cutting-edge technique that was an alternative to laser removal and offered us full control over the creative process. I'm ecstatic to offer a removal solution like this at our shops!"

While 65 million Americans sport a tattoo, 11 percent of them are getting - or have had - one removed. Although the laser has been the go to method of removal, its lack of efficacy, coupled with pain and cost, have not made it an attractive value proposition. Marc's Tattooing plans on capitalizing on the newest alternative to laser tattoo removal.

Owens added, "Not only is this THE solution for those that want a full tattoo removal, but it will also make a cover up session more tolerable and less costly for our clients."

To book a consultation for a Tatt2Away treatment, call Steve or Jon at 570-235-1484 or visit http://marcstattooing.com/.

Tatt2Away is placing only a few systems per city, offering a limited exclusivity to those studios that see the opportunity first and act on it. For more information, go to http://www.Tatt2Away.com/ or contact Jack Savage, Rejuvatek Medical, Inc. 855-252-2929 jacksavage@Tatt2Away.com

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. Shoppers can find B2C Jewels online at http://www.b2cjewels.com/ - or visit their New York City diamond district office by-appointment.

Oceanside Jewelers announces the opening of Oceanside Pawn Shops

OCEANSIDE, Calif., June 12, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Master jeweler Chad Elliott of Oceanside Jewelers has expanded their award winning jewelry design storefront to now include Oceanside Pawnshops. Having applied for and received a pawnbroker's license from the State of California to offer pawn loans in exchange for personal jewelry, Oceanside Jewelers is pleased to expand its services as a pawn loan specialist in the area of gold, jewelry, diamonds, fine watches, diamonds, and gemstones of all types.

With an onsite master jeweler and a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified gemologist, this new distinction in added service benefit is a perfect fit for Oceanside Jewelers and the city of Oceanside itself. Oceanside pawnshops has launched a new website in support of this endeavor. The web site - oceansidepawnshops.com - contains helpful information regarding pawn loans, the valuation process, as well as the terms and qualifications of collateral loans.

Ever wonder how a jeweler's pawn loan is transacted? All pawnshops offer collateral loans on valuable items, and interest rates on all loans are regulated by the State of California. When a customer does not repay or renew the loan by an agreed upon date, the pawnshop keeps the items. Pawn loans are popular because of the speed and efficiency of the process compared to a bank loan, and they also allow the customer to recover their pledged items as opposed to selling them. This gives Oceanside Jewelers a wider and more flexible range of options in jewelry services to offer its customers and the Oceanside community as a whole.

"We like to consider ourselves a true jewelry pawn shop," says Elliott. "Our staff of professional jewelers and gemologists is highly knowledgeable about fine jewelry, precious gems, diamonds, diamond rings and diamond wedding rings for women, as well as fine watches. This allows us to give the best possible assessment of your fine jewelry."
