      History’s Most Sought-After DiamondsEvents and Promotions / Jewelry IndustryThere are some pretty famous diamonds in existence today. Their uniqueness and value will astonish the average individual. Take a look at some of the most precious stones in existence. You won’t find these at your local jeweler. Noor-ul-Ain Diamond Tiara This precious stone was given to Empress Farah Diba when she married the last shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. The pink diamond is measured at 60 carats, and it is arguably one of the most famous pink diamonds in the world. It is surrounded by hundreds of colored diamonds and centuries of royal history, making it utterly irreplaceable.  Koh-i-Noor Diamond This white diamond weighs a whopping 108.93 carats. Legends say the name was given to the diamond by a Persian shah in 1302. In 1849 the diamond was sent to Queen Victoria where it was cut (with an original weight of approximately 186 carats). Its weight was decreased to 108.93 carats and was set in Queen Elizabeth’s crown. Taylor-Burton Diamond This is a pear shape diamond weighing around 69.42 carats. It was named as such after Mr. Richard Burton gave it as an engagement ring to his fiancé, Elizabeth Taylor. After the couple divorced in 1987, Elizabeth Taylor put up the diamond for auction, and the money was used to build a hospital in Africa. Cullinan – The Biggest Diamond in the World The Premier mine in Pretoria, South Africa, was where the largest diamond in the world was found on January 25, 1905. Frederick Wells was doing an inspection of the mine when he discovered a 3,106-carat diamond, only a mere 18 feet below ground. Because of its sheer size, it was believed to be a piece of glass. However, Wells then ordered it to be removed to undergo testing. It was eventually confirmed to be the largest diamond that the world had ever seen. Wells’s superior, Sir Thomas Cullinan was the owner of the Premier mine at the time. The enormous diamond weighed a whopping 1.33 pounds, and it still holds the record as the largest rough diamond ever to be found. It was named the Cullinan Diamond after Sir Cullinan. The Hope Diamond This dark grayish blue diamond weighs approximately 45.52 carats. The diamond was found in India way back in 1642. Initially, the diamond weighed 132.00 carats. The diamond traveled somewhat through the ages, set in the royal crown of Luis the 14th, then it was stolen during the French revolution. The Wittelsbach Graff Diamond Finally, the Wittelsbach Graff is probably one of the most famous diamonds in the world. It was bought in 2008 for an unbelievable 23.4 million dollars by renowned jeweler Sir Laurence Graff. The grayish-blue diamond weighs about 31.06-carat in its current form. By looking at these historic precious stones, it is easy to see why diamonds have been popular throughout the ages. It is not only their dazzling and glittering appearance that allures consumers, but also the stories behind them....

      Most Common Challenges to be Aware of in The Jewelry IndustryJewelry IndustryRunning a business is incredibly challenging. Jewelry stores face a series of challenges when they step inside the industry. From building a reputable brand to maintaining its reputation, it is always a work in progress. Building a trustworthy brand Creating the brand for a store is arguably the most important step for any business. It represents the image and reputation of a business. Businesses need to do adequate research when designing their brand so as not to dissuade customers from buying their products. A logo or brand name has the power to either offend or entice an audience. Designing a user-friendly website The design of a website must lure customers in. Many businesses build comprehensive websites but fail to convert online visitors to buyers. This could mean that a business needs to implement a series of strategies that will allow it to convert its website traffic into orders. Websites also need ongoing maintenance to ensure that customers can navigate the site with ease. Payment issues Online clients should never be discouraged from making an online purchase because of a failure to process their payments. Processing payments should be completely stress-free and without issues. Fast and convenient payment methods will encourage clients to return to the online store. Marketing It will always be a challenge for jewelry businesses to market their products. Besides the fact that products such as diamond jewelry are expensive, these businesses have to compete with other jewelry stores. Offering a unique product or service to clients may give a business the edge it needs to succeed. Manufacturing Suppliers are the lifeline of a business. However, manufacturing issues may prevent stores from selling stock that is in demand. Delays in orders may also result in order cancellations, and the business will suffer a loss of revenue. One of the most difficult challenges for any jewelry store is to stay on top of its game. From maintaining its website to keeping its loyal clients happy, it’s an ongoing effort to make it a success....
    • 6 Helpful Tips for Running a Jewelry Store in The United States
      6 Helpful Tips for Running a Jewelry Store in The United StatesDiamond Jewelry / Events and PromotionsEven the most successful diamond brands in the United States worked hard to obtain their current reputation. Running a jewelry store in the US comes with its own set of challenges. This article contains some helpful tips for individuals who are interested in starting a jewelry store in the US. Tip #1: Selecting the name of the business Brainstorming a business name is probably the most important step to starting a jewelry store. Some people may choose a name that relates to jewelry, such as “The Diamond Shop”, and others prefer to go with a name that is somewhat unrelated to jewelry. Once a name has been chosen, the logo for the business can be designed. In any event, the name will inevitably be the face of the business. Tip #2: Design a business model Create a comprehensive business plan for your diamond business. It should contain information about how materials will be sourced, manufactured, and sold, alongside information about the target market. This plan should also include strategies that will help to grow the business. Tip #3: Source materials There needs to be a reliable source for materials. Online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon often hold auctions for bulk buyers. Local craft stores are also a great starting point for small businesses. It is possible to source good quality materials that don’t break the bank. However, it is essential to make a proper capital investment to lure in clients. Tip #4: Clear all legal issues Running a jewelry store via sole proprietorship may lead to some legal issues if the business is not registered. A registered business often comes with tax advantages. This option can be beneficial if an owner plans to scale their jewelry business from side hustle to a full-time job. It is often safer to do things by the book. Tip #5: Understand the target market Do sufficient market research on the type of person that the store will be selling to. Selling affordable fashion jewelry pieces that young people wear will have a different approach than if a store decides to sell customized jewelry at a higher price for elderly women. Tip #6: Create an online store Finally, every business today needs a website. It opens your small business up to a world of potential customers. Customers can find jewelry and place an order even if they’re thousands of miles away. By following these tips, you should be well on your way to running a successful jewelry store. Remember to do sufficient research on your target market, source materials and draw up a failsafe business plan. Still unsure?
