So how can you tell where your pink diamond came from? The September issue of Jeweller features an in-depth report about identifying the origin of pink diamonds, which is increasingly becoming a top priority for consumers.
Also this month, amidst the controversy regarding diamond ‘over-grading’ and subsequent banning of EGL reports, we look at solutions to better serve the industry and build greater consumer confidence.
Readers won’t want to miss our interview with Geoffrey Munn, one of the most widely recognised faces in jewellery. As a presenter on the hit program Antiques Roadshow, we discover there’s far more to this jewellery specialist than what’s seen on television.
There's a whole lot more in Australia and New Zealand’s Number #1 jewellery industry magazine, including plenty of useful advice that could help to improve sales and profitability.
