Diamond watches and wrist watches - AleXora: breaking the daily round

0 comments
Usually, wrist watches are round-shaped or rectangular-shaped. Swiss watch maker AleXora doesn’t follow this rule (at least not always). AleXora has launched its new triangle-shaped watches collection at the World Watch and Jewellery Show Baselworld 2009 in Basel, Switzerland.
AleXora is a brand with a long tradition. The watch factory was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds (a Swiss city) in 1876. The new watches collection summarizes the traditional history of this brand and its future. With this triangle-shaped watches collection, AleXora presents a modernized concept based on the number THREE: this concept is the pillar of its current collection and represents innovation, aesthetics and quality. AleXora is committed with its history and the company took a lot of care in embracing high quality standards for this collection: the stainless steel watches comprise sapphire glass and authentic mother-of-pearl dials. They are water-resistant up to 5 ATM (atmospheres), and the straps, which are made of high grade leather, have folding buckles. On the other hand, the jewelled models have real authentic diamonds.
The number THREE plays a decisive role in several cultures. Its historical origins date from many years in the past. For example, the Egyptians thought the number three was a foundation for life: time was manifested as the past, present and future. Also, some divine triads have always been very important pillars through the history, and we are talking about not only the Christian Trinity, but also other triads of the Hinduism and Buddhism. Definitely, AleXora’s triangle watches symbolize a unifying message of several cultures.

The Latest Diamond Find Could End up Being The World's Largest Polished Piece Of Ice

0 comments

A huge gem stone which could become the largest polished round diamond in history was recently unearthed at the Letšeng diamond mine in Lesotho just this past September 8th.
Gem Diamonds and the Lesotho Government, a 30 percent partner in the mine, announced Sunday the recovery of a 478-carat type II D color diamond (shown above) which they say has the potential to yield one of the largest flawless D-color round polished diamonds in history.
“Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that it will yield a record breaking polished stone of the very best color and clarity,” said Clifford Elphick, CEO and chairman of Gem Diamonds.
The diamond was recovered on Monday September 8, and sent to Antwerp for analysis where it was determined to be a type II D color diamond - the highest color grading available for a white diamond, Gem Diamonds explained.


Above: A model inspects the world's 20th largest rough diamond, which was discovered at Gem Diamond's Letsing Mine in Lesotho.
The massive stone is the 20th largest rough diamond ever found, weighs 478 carats and is said to be of outstanding clarity. It was recovered earlier this week at the Letseng Mine, in Lesotho, a small kingdom in South Africa.
The clarity and round shape of the new gem mean it could be worth considerably more than the previous find of the Letsing "Promise" diamond valued at 12.4 million a few months ago from the same mine. In its polished state, this latest find could fetch tens of millions of pounds.

Above: the rough 478 carat, D color whopper
The rough stone above is estimated to be capable of producing a 150 carat polished gem stone, dwarfing the Koh-i-Noor diamond which is part of the Crown Jewels.
A spokesman for Gem Diamonds, who own the mine, added that initial examination suggested that the white diamond, which has yet to be named and valued, has a completely flawless center. That means, once polished the uncut stone could become the world's largest ever diamond.

Above: The new diamond could be larger than the Koh-i-noor diamond, seen in the Queen mother's crown (shown above, circled in red).
The Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, with the Koh-i-noor diamond, sits in the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels. It was given to Queen Victoria by 1o year-old Duleep Singh, last Emperor of the Sikhs in 1855.
The mine, which was owned by famous diamond company De Beers for many years, has already produced three of the world's biggest diamonds including the 603 carat Lesotho Promise, the 493 carat Leteng Legacy and the 601 carat Lesotho Brown.
Clifford Elphick, chief executive officer of Gem Diamonds, said 'Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that it will yield a record breaking polished stone of the very best colour and clarity.'
The find is still dwarfed by the Cullinan Diamond which was discovered in 1905:

Above: At 3,106 carats, the Cullian Diamond was the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found but the biggest polished stone produced from it, the Great Star of Africa - 530 carats - is a teardrop shape.

Above: The Koh-i-noor is a round cut but at 105 carats it is smaller than the potential size of the new find. It originated in India but was seized by Britain as a spoil of war in 1849. It supposedly brings good luck to female owners and misfortune or death to any male who wears or owns it.

A bit about the Letšeng Mine in Lesotho:

Above: aerial view of the Letšeng pit

Letšeng Diamonds Proprietary Limited is owned 70% by Gem Diamonds and 30% by the Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho. Operated by De Beers between 1977 and 1982, Letšeng reopened operations in 2004 and was acquired by Gem Diamonds in 2006.

The average elevation at the mine is 3,100m above mean sea level, making it the highest diamond mine in the world. The mine consists of two adjacent primary near vertical kimberlite pipes the Satellite and Main, with confirmed vertical depths of 495m and 655m respectively. The average grade of these resources is 1.72 carats per hundred tons (cpht). With approximately 14% of all stones being larger than 10.8 carats (ct), the production profile is more akin to that of an alluvial than kimberlite mine.

The average price per carat achieved at Letšeng in 2007 was US$1 997 per ct, relative to an industry average of US$81 per ct. As such Letšeng is a remarkable mine producing some of the world’s remarkable diamonds including large gem quality diamonds that sell for the highest per carat price of any kimberlite mine.

Above: drilling at night at the Letšeng' mine

Historically 81% of Letšeng's revenue is from large diamonds (+10.8 ct) and 90% of the diamonds recovered are gem quality with a significant proportion graded as D colour.

Some of the world's largest diamonds have been produced at Letšeng. Of note is the 601ct Lesotho Brown in the mid 1960s (world’s 16th largest diamond ever recovered), the 603ct Lesotho Promise recovered in August 2006 (15th largest diamond) and the 493ct Letšeng Legacy recovered in September 2007 (18th largest recovered).

Above: the Promise Diamond, 603 carats, also mined from Letšeng.

Above: the Letšeng Legacy Diamond, 493 carats

Letšeng Diamonds markets all its diamonds through a tender process in Antwerp. The Lesotho Promise sold by Gem Diamonds in Antwerp for US $12.4 million and the Letšeng Legacy for US $10.4 million.

How the African Diamond Trade Works

How the African Diamond Trade Works
Few things elicit the response to the gift of a clear, perfect diamond -- particularly if given in that trademark Tiffany-blue box. Women clamor for them and menshell out thousands of dollars for engagement rings, pendants and the like. Friends compete to see who has the biggest and best diamond ring, only to be one-upped by the next friend to get engaged (if her fiancé knows what's good for him).


Diamond seekers work near Freetown, Sierra Leone, in Africa. The country's diamond trade is known to have funded civil war and terrorism. See more pictures of diamonds.
This phenomenon has its roots in marketing by the diamond industry -- ruled largely by the company De Beers -- and has reaped benefits for decades. In 2005, the diamond industry was estimated to be worth a whopping $60 billion [source: Blood Diamond Action]. Diamonds are judged on the Four Cs -- clarity, color, cut and carat weight.
Critics wonder, however, if the same women who lust after these precious gems would feel the same if they knew about the fifth "C": conflict. Would they consider their rings to be worth the suffering, deaths and displacement of thousands of Africans? Known as blood diamonds or conflict diamonds, these gems are mined and exported illegally from certain parts of Africa by corrupt groups bent on funding bloody rebel conflicts and civil wars.
Before we get into the gruesome details of the corrupt African diamond trade, it's important to note two things. First, only a small percentage of the world's diamonds are known still to come from these particular regions of Africa. It's impossible to know if that statistic is truly accurate, because diamonds are very easy to smuggle out of these war-torn countries. Second, not all countries in Africa are home to corrupt diamond mining and trading.
To understand the African diamond trade, you have to know how and why diamonds are exploited in parts of Africa, as well as where this has been and continues to be a problem. You also might want to know how to avoid buying a conflict or blood diamond for your special someone, and what people are doing to eliminate this problem completely.

New technology to facilitate accurate mapping of ‘inclusions in almost any rough diamond’

1 comments
Israeli diamond grading and gemstone production technology company Sarin Tech-nologies says it is now offering a groundbreaking service to diamond beneficiators, allowing them to accurately map all inclusions in almost any rough diamond within minutes.
Current methods may take hours, if not days, to perform this painstaking task and, even then, results are highly dependent on the operator’s skill, with human error remaining a cardinal factor, says Sarin Technologies CEO Uzi Levami.
He adds that the new service will first be offered in Israel and India, where diamond manufacturers have already been testing the company’s new scanner and are excited about the results. “Following Israel and India, we expect to gradually be offering these services in other diamond manufacturing centres worldwide.”
“Diamond manufacturers will be able to obtain this service with- out committing to large investments in capital equipment,” says Levami.
For the first time ever in the diamond industry, a scanner is available that can “accurately, quickly and automatically” detect and map all inclusions regardless of their type, size and location within the rough diamond, he adds. Sarin expects the Galaxy 1000 to change not only diamond manufacturing, but also trad- ing. Levami explains that frosted and lightly coated rough diamonds, commonly traded speculatively owing to their obscure internal structure, can now be fully mapped and, “in effect, demysti- fied”.

Lay-offs backfire, dearth of workers in diamond market

0 comments
Surat: The diamond industry in Surat has bounced back but traders face a peculiar problem. They are now short staffed because of all the workers they laid off a few months ago.
The election was marked by blame game over the downturn in Surat's diamond industry. But the reality now is quite different. Diamond trader Prakash Badmecha is faced with a peculiar problem. Ten months ago, he was forced to lay off workers, due to dropping demand, but now orders are pouring in, and Prakash is finding it difficult to find workers.


"This crisis is different. There is a lot of work, but shortage of workers. We are willing to pay more to hire them," said the diamond industrialist.
Surat's diamond polishing units wore a deserted look just a few months back. Now, at least 30 per cent of them have started functioning again. But a sizable chunk of the four lakh workers who were laid off earlier, have not returned, as they have found jobs elsewhere.

"We are making all attempts to bring back workers from their native places," said diamond unit owner, Harsh Sanghvi.

What has led to this turn around in fortunes is with most polished diamond stocks exhausted, there is now demand for more. Industrialists are buying rough diamonds as prices have bottomed out. And the recovery of the stock markets, has helped increase cash flow.

"The local situation has improved considerably and the demand too has increased. People can now say 'Diamonds are Forever'," said regional chairman, GJEPC, Chandrakant Sanghvi, .

With the diamond industry showing signs of glitter again, Surat once again has a chance to get back on the diamond industry's map. But only if its lifeblood - the workers, return home to their highly skilled jobs.

Hyderabad is the Fastest Growing Diamond Market!

0 comments
IT’s out and it’s official. Hyderabad is the fastest growing diamond market in India registering a growth rate of 29% per annum, in the process leaving behind metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. The news has to be authentic as it comes from none other than Mr. Umesh Jethwani head honcho of Meena Jewelers and an authority on diamonds. “Though gold has its own charm and registers the highest sales amongst ornaments, it’s the diamond market which is resonating with the hyper growth buzz. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is that the fact that Hyderabadis have now started appreciating the finer aspects of diamonds. They are also realizing that diamonds have a longer life and better resale value” opines Mr. Jethwani. He is credited with the accomplishment of driving the Meena Jewelers brand right up the popularity charts.
Answering the query whether Meena Jewelers’ obvious pedigree helped in its market positioning, he says “Of course it helps to have a big legacy behind you. But it only helps in giving the initial head start. The rest depends on how effectively you are retailing your wares. One of the biggest reasons for our success is the ‘innovation’ factor. We are the first ones to introduce the market to a brand new way of evaluating a diamond’s true worth. We initiated the certification procedure wherein every diamond has a tag of certification from an authorized body.
Reputed international bodies like GIA and IGI issue the certifications which immensely help the buyers to evaluate the worth of diamonds. Moreover, we are the biggest diamond dealers in India operating from 3 prime locations across Hyderabad. Each of our outlets is spread across an expansive 30,000sq.ft, retailing some of the finest brands including Asmi, Sangini, Solitaire, Nakshatra etc. Our international jewelry cum accessory brands include Cartier, Schopard, Mont Blanc, Origa, Bvlgari, Frank Mueller, Omega, Rado, Longines, Tissot and others. The focus is on providing the consumers with several options.” Meena Jewelers operates from 3 exclusive stores located at Basheerbagh, Panjagutta and Begumpet. All the outlets are spread across 3 floors of opulence and glitz which create the right ambience for discerning customers.

The group also deals with gold, silver and pearls apart from diamonds. But due to obvious reasons, it’s more known for its exquisite diamond collection. The gold retail sector too has been lent a touch of innovation by Meena Jewelers. “We are the only dealers who guarantee lifetime, 100% buy back of ornaments without deflating the value or price. We calculate on the basis of current prices when buying back and that makes a lot of difference to the customers” adds Mr. Jethwani.
All the gold, silver and pearl products retailed from Meena Jewelers are given shape in their own factories located in Mumbai and Hyderabad. When quizzed about the group’s critical success factors, he quips “The range we offer is mind boggling and literally unmatched. The transparency mechanism which enables customers to evaluate the true worth of whatever they are investing on and our buy back guarantee have helped us in a big way. Above all, our personal equation with most of our customers, some of who have been with us for generations together, gives us a distinct identity.” After all, it does pay to leverage a 70 year old legacy.

Diamond & Sapphire Owl Brooch

When I was in junior high, my mascot was the owl. I hated it. I wished we at least had a mascot that wasn’t portrayed as a geeky professor in cartoons.
Well, I’m much (much) older and (a little) wiser now, so I think I’ve earned the right to wear my old mascot proudly. And since I don’t wear stonewashed jeans or layered socks anymore, I don’t have to do it in a way that makes me look like a dork.

Tiffany & Co. Sapphire and Diamond Owl Brooch

This adorable brooch by Tiffany & Co. shows so much more than school spirit. This brooch oozes class (thanks to the simple, but still adorable, design), fashion sense (owls are so in right now), and luxury (what part of“Tiffany & Co.” did you not understand?).
