How to Avoid A Jewelry Disaster...
If you were subscribed to our website, Newsletters, Courses or Reports you would have received a copy of the email written below. We thought it was so important that we have once again reproduced it here on our Blog, together with a few replies we received at the time.
The Katrina Hurricane in the Gulf ranks right up there with the very worst of Natural (or human) disasters.
This article was written within a few hours of the News hitting the airways.
Please feel free to add any comments....
G'day folks and many thanks for taking the time to read this long email.
As a past and valued client with Patricia and myself through one of our Jewelry websites, we wanted to send out this special message to you all.
If you had read the blurb on our Jewelry Appraisal web, you will have remembered where I mentioned being 'The Victim of Loss' and how we all tend to put it off until it's too late.
It is something I am *VERY* passionate about as I have seen first hand just how much it can effect everyone - nobody is immune.
And that brings us back to the purpose of this email. The Hurricane disaster.
These poor people in the Gulf States have become victims of loss on a HUGE scale.
- They have lost their Homes....
- They have lost their jobs - income - places to work....
- They have lost family members - pets - friends....
And they have lost the small personal things in life they can't replace.
- Family Photographs....
- Birth and Wedding Certificates....
- Treasured Jewelry....
*Just think about that for a moment.*
- Family Photographs....
- Birth and Wedding Certificates....
- Treasured Jewelry....
Everything's gone.
They have become the worst case of 'Victims of Loss' we can possibly imagine.
We have to do something to help. Now. TODAY!
- But how? (I can almost hear you thinking).
- But what can we do.
- We are so far away.

Please think about this for a moment longer. Think how lucky we all are.
Try to imagine what they must be going through - right now - while you're eating your Breakfast - while you're in work - Having a Night out with your family or friends.
Hard, isn't it?
The first thing we can all do is donate. That helps relieve the pain today.
But we need to do more - for tomorrow - for everyone else.
So what I'm suggesting is a two step method. The first gets cash into the hands of the people who need it - The second (I hope) prevents YOUR family and friends from suffering in the same way by being prepared - By NOT becoming the 'Victim of Loss' in the future.
Patricia and I want to donate (just like you) but maybe - just maybe, we can all do a little more.
BUT THE IMPORTANT PART IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION - and I don't mean money either.
We are asking you to tell your workmates, your family, your friends how they can prevent becoming the 'Victim of Loss' by getting their appraisal done right now - before it's too late.
You see, even some of the victims down in New Orleans had personal Jewelry. Heck some of them may even of had an up-to-date Appraisal Certificate locked in their bedroom drawer.
Guess where that piece of paper is now?
It's gone, along with the jewelry and personal possessions. The gold and silver and diamonds are lost in the mud. That physical appraisal is not worth the paper it WAS written on.
That's why I often stress the benefit of doing your Jewelry Appraisals Online!
No matter what happens (and it's already happened to many) your treasured details are safely locked in our database which you can access 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
- In short - you will be able to replace your personal Jewelry exactly!
- No guesswork (I think it was 14ct).
- No second best (I'm sure it was a Diamond - but maybe not?)
- No short measure (my wife's chain was longer than that).
So our message is this....
Do it Now before it's too late....
Tell a friend - tell your neighbor and be thankful you still have one.
The small amount of money donated is just for today.
Your recommendations to others, is for tomorrow. Spread the word.
Pass it on....
As usual; take care and watch the road.
David and Patricia

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.
I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...
Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...

Hi there……..I understand what your saying… you see, I live on the gulf coast…. in Navarre Florida to be exact.
Fortunately we just got the outer bands of Katrina but since 1995 we have had direct hits from hurricane Erin, Opal, Ivan and just recently hurricane Dennis of which all four eyes went right over us!
So I understand the importance of what your saying.
Today my mind was running in circles about how I can help these people. Frankly I’m ashamed that our country, the richest in the world is not doing a better job than they are and as the days go by I’m seeing things getting worse.
So the way I see it I feel it’s time the people of this great land of ours join together to make a difference……..if you put enough kitty’s meows together it becomes a lions roar!
I’m working on a website to raise awareness of whats happening to our country….. hoping to make a difference!
If you like I could add a link to your site….it’s your call.
Honestly I’m becoming a very scorned woman after learning in Irac the price of gasoline is a nickle a gallon………whats up with that Mr. President?
Anyway……I just blew off a little steam so please excuse me.
Warm Regards,
S. Gabbert
