We’ll finally it’s over. Our team spent an unbelievable eight days on the the trade show floor finding just the right fine jewelry pieces and swiss watches to load up our showcases for the fall.

In my last report I noted organic jewelry as being particularly strong and this definitely was the case. But by the end of the show jewelry featuring black diamonds, black onyx or black sapphires stole the show. The designs were refreshing, avant-garde and even reasonable in price to boot. We started showing this a little bit last fall but this year it is going to be even bigger and the styles are traditional enough to last for some time to come.

Another emerging jewelry trend that we spotted was the combination of rose gold and white agate. I think by the time the New York show rolls around the Italians will be producing this look in full swing. It is so perfect for summertime wear, and once you see the pieces featured on JRDunn.com you’ll know exactly what I mean.

I just can’t wait till we get our new goodies in and hopefully our clients will be as thrilled as we are! And if there is anything else you’d like to see either in store or on our website please let us know!

Warm regards,

Sean

Mariah was reportedly spotted wearing a 10 carat pink diamond ring with Nick by her side while promoting her film “Tennessee” at Tribeca. If the rumors are true this will be the second time Mariah has married and the first for Nick Cannon. There is a nasty rumor going around that Mariah’s new ring is the exact same diamond engagement ring that Nick gave Selita Ebanks while the two were an item. A close source quickly squashed this rumor and said while the rings were both from Jacob and Co. Mariah’s ring was completely custom created by Nick and Jacob from scratch. We wish Mariah and Nick the best of luck now send us some wedding pictures!

Thanks to our wonderful clientele and the JRDunn.com team. Great Job!

Press release:

JRDunn.com is pleased to announce a 61% increase in the number of orders shipped over last year for the month of December. The company saw strong growth across the board in all categories and is particularly pleased with the increase in demand for loose diamonds.

“As a whole, our company has not lost how important the diamond and bridal business is for jewelers. There are a lot of brick and mortar stores out there that are giving up on the engagement ring business due to fierce competition,” says Sean Dunn, founder of JRDunn.com. “We refuse to go down that route. We know the diamond business is where we make new clients and if you do your job right they’ll come back and shop with you for the Holidays. And thankfully, that is exactly what happened.”

While the privately held company declines to provide exact sales volume, management said their increase over 2006 was “sizable and seven figures.” Company executives went on to state that they expect to capture more market share in 2008 with continued double digit sales increases.

Two men used stolen credit card information to purchase $400k in diamonds according to diamonds.net. The men are from Queens, New York and targeted “Asian sounding” consumers saying they were from national credit services company Equifax. Many people ended up giving their credit card information and the two ended up purchasing about $400,000 in diamonds. The two men would intercept the shipment of diamonds at each card holders address.

New York police arrested the two men and they face 88 counts of fraud and criminal conduct charges.
