Rock the Vote: Engagement Ring Say Yes Facebook Contest

Author: Whiteflash Inc.
Dateline: Houston, Texas (HOUSTON, Texas)  | Fri, 09 Sep 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “With the momentum and rhetoric starting to build for the looming 2012 national elections, Whiteflash, leading retailer of ideal diamonds and fine jewelry, has decided to host their own democratic election. By casting your vote between two top engagement rings in their collection, you will be entered to win one for yourself.”



A R T I C L E:

With the momentum and rhetoric starting to build for the looming 2012 national elections, Whiteflash, leading retailer of ideal diamonds and fine jewelry, has decided to host their own democratic election. By casting your vote between two top engagement rings in their collection, you will be entered to win one for yourself.

Fun, fresh and engaging, the Whiteflash "Give it the YES Vote and Win" is so simple even the technologically challenged can do it. All you need is Facebook and an opinion! The current contest, which positions the elaborate and intricate "Elena" diamond engagement ring against the bold and majestic "Magnolia" engagement ring setting, is like the modern day clash of heavyweight candidates.

In the blue corner, you have the 18k white gold "Elena" from the Greek word meaning "splendor of the sun", with a retail value of $1,795. She weighs in adorned with an impressive 56 A CUT ABOVE(R) Hearts and Arrows diamond melee (0.50ctw; F/G VS). In the red corner is the equally impressive 18k white gold "Magnolia" diamond engagement ring with a retail value $2,195, and named after the Magnolia flower- the pride of the South. She weighs in with 16 A CUT ABOVE(R) Hearts and Arrows diamond melee (0.60ctw, F/G VS). It is not an easy choice by any stretch of the imagination, as both settings are extremely popular and exemplify the dichotomies that exist in every modern day woman-strength and femininity.

After counting the votes on October 15, 2011 a drawing will be held among those participants who voted for the winning design. One lucky voter will be rewarded with the winning setting. So, throw your vote into the ring (pun intended), and let your voice be heard. The political process has never been more brilliant!

BetterThanDiamond.com Files Patent Re-Exam Request for Charles and Colvard’s U.S. Patent

Author: BetterThanDiamond, Inc.
Dateline: Seattle, Washington State (SEATTLE, Wash.)  | Tue, 26 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BetterThanDiamond, Inc., a privately held U.S. corporation, today announced it has filed a patent re-examination request with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding Charles & Colvard's (NASDAQ:CTHR) patent for manufacturing 'Silicon Carbide Gemstones.' The patent in contention has allowed Charles & Colvard, Ltd. to enjoy a monopoly position and bill itself as the 'sole manufacturer.'”



A R T I C L E:

BetterThanDiamond, Inc., a privately held U.S. corporation, today announced it has filed a patent re-examination request with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office regarding Charles & Colvard's (NASDAQ:CTHR) patent for manufacturing "Silicon Carbide Gemstones." The patent in contention has allowed Charles & Colvard, Ltd. to enjoy a monopoly position and bill itself as the "sole manufacturer" of Silicon Carbide, or Moissanite, gemstones. Moissanite is a lab-grown semi-conductor material with optical properties, such as fire and brilliance, which are superior to gem-quality diamond.

The patent is U.S. 5,723,391 and covers the manufacture of Silicon Carbide, or Moissanite, gemstones. The filing requests the USPTO review and consider the validity of this U.S. patent in light of three "prior art" publications provided to the USPTO by BetterThanDiamond. The three publications span three decades - one each from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Per 35 USC 103, a patent may not be granted when the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made in light of prior art. None of the three provided publications, or "prior art," had been disclosed to the patent examiner or USPTO at the time the current patent was granted.

"The patent system is designed to promote and protect innovation," said Less P Wright, President, BetterThanDiamond.com. "This patent however, was thrown out in Korea on the basis of 'lack of innovation' - and we couldn't agree more. Our filing, however, goes beyond opinions regarding innovation or lack thereof, and provides three prior art publications that make obvious to those skilled in the art how to manufacture silicon carbide, or Moissanite, gemstones. We do not believe Charles & Colvard's patent would have been granted had the USPTO been aware of these previous publications. Thus, we are filing today to allow the USPTO to review the patent's validity in light of these new disclosures."

BetterThanDiamond has had several breakthroughs related to the manufacture and improved optical properties of Silicon Carbide or Moissanite, for its "Mira Moissanite" program. However, they have been prevented from combining all of their breakthroughs into a single product offering due to the current patent held by Charles & Colvard. These breakthroughs include patent applications in progress for a new Hearts and Arrows round cut, and the ability to atomically enhance the colorlessness of all Moissanite, including the Moissanite sold by Charles & Colvard. For example - the Mira enhancement process is able to take a typical 1.5ct round from Charles & Colvard, which grades K or "Faint Color" on the diamond color scale, and permanently transform it to H color, or true near colorless. H color grade is a whiter diamond color much more in demand by jewelry consumers than K, or "faint color," and BetterThanDiamond intends to greatly expand its production of Mira Moissanite once the patent issue is resolved.

The patent re-exam process is expected to take between 3 to 6 months before the USPTO issues a decision.

"We anticipate that our current filing will result in the invalidation of the current patent held by Charles & Colvard. With a successful outcome and our manufacturing no longer restricted, we expect to further surprise jewelry lovers globally with the true beauty of our Mira Moissanite. At that point, we can utilize all of our technology and show Mira's 'Beauty Beyond Diamond™' properties to full effect," said Mr. Wright.

About BetterThanDiamond:

With its background in solid state chemistry and materials science, BetterThanDiamond.com is focused on the research, development and delivery of the world's most stunning lab grown gems. A 17 year old private company with customers in over 25 countries, BetterThanDiamond supplies lab grown jewelry products to jewelers and consumers globally.

A R T I C L E:

With the debut of his "A Cut Above" Hearts and Arrows diamonds in 1998, Brian Gavin has been creating new and interesting diamond designs for over fifteen years. With cuts like his Signature Princess and "Brian Gavin Blue" diamonds, he has set the bar high for the competition. Now, Brian Gavin and his company, Brian Gavin Diamonds, are releasing their newest super ideal cut: the QUADEX™ Hearts and Arrows diamond. The Quadex has been given the grade of ideal in polish, symmetry and light performance, as defined by the American Gem Society.

The Quadex diamond is square in shape, but reflects the properties of a round stone. It is described as a modified, cut-cornered gem and bears the Hearts and Arrows pattern that many diamond lovers have come to know and love. Brian Gavin's experience in creating his "Signature" diamonds allows his Hearts and Arrows diamonds to be that much better than that of the competition.

This new-and-improved diamond cut allows for brilliant dispersion and scintillating light flashes. The light performance of the Quadex, aforementioned, was given the grade of ideal by the American Gem Society. This rating is only received by one percent of cut diamonds on the planet.

As distinguished by its reception of the highest ratings in main categories of diamond quality, the Quadex is the evolution and transition of the round and square diamond cuts, making Brian Gavin Diamonds far ahead of the curve.

Shopping with Brian Gavin Diamonds has never been easier. With an online store, iPhone/Android apps and global shipping, purchasing a Brian Gavin Signature Quadex Hearts and Arrows diamond for a loved one is simple and fast.

New York Times Article Dubs Whiteflash Tops at Making ‘I Do’s’ Easy

Author: Whiteflash Inc.
Dateline: Houston, Texas (HOUSTON, Texas)  | Tue, 19 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Prominently featured in The New York Times Small Business section article, 'Connecting With Clients Through the Power of Tech,' Whiteflash has yet another reason to boast about cornering the market on bringing superior quality loose diamonds and engagement rings to consumers and winning over tough critics in the process.”



A R T I C L E:

Prominently featured in The New York Times Small Business section article (June 15, 2011), "Connecting With Clients Through the Power of Tech," Whiteflash has yet another reason to boast about cornering the market on bringing superior quality loose diamonds and engagement rings to consumers and winning over tough critics in the process.

Known for being one of the most revered and toughest news sources to crack, The New York Times carries its own element of branding cachet and esteem that few brands have the honor of being affiliated with. So when Whiteflash, a Houston based fine jewelry retailer, is called out with a feature story in their publication, it's hard not to sit up and take notice.

What Was the Buzz About?

Whiteflash has perfected connecting without the physical connection-to put it in short form. The June 15 article focused on five unrelated small businesses who have solved the dilemma of making customer service high tech, minus the high stress. Almost half of the article is devoted to dissecting Whiteflash's superlative approach to meeting their, predominantly male, customer's every service need in a convenient and efficient manner. The approach that specifically caught the publication's attention was the brand's advanced technology platform which utilizes many interactive zoom and personalized chat touch-points.

These enhancements converge to make the virtual customer feel like they're face-to-face with their jeweler and act as somewhat of a personal concierge for recommending other items that might be of interest to that customer. The ability to inspect every angle and aspect of an engagement ring, as if holding it in your hand, removes any apprehension of not knowing what you are buying.

Powered by the software provider Bold Chat, visitors to the site are able to easily engage with extremely knowledgeable customer service specialists who are driven by personalizing the sale process as opposed to speeding it up. The real-time chat feature adds to the comfort and credibility of the entire online sales process. Let's face it, making a sizable jewelry purchase is a process that shouldn't be rushed and sometime requires an on the spot education in diamond buying for the client. Customizable search options interfaced with the build your own ring feature can activate a buyer's desire for creating a personal one-of-a-kind design.

Additionally, if it's an education the buyer needs, Whiteflash's entire site is dedicated to educating the customer about the scientific properties, performance expectations and necessary attributes of diamonds. They also offer one of the most sought after premium diamonds, A CUT ABOVE®, in the marketplace today. By delivering first-rate diamond jewelry, coupled with the service friendly support infrastructure and tremendously loyal customer network that returns consistently, Whiteflash can't help but be recognized for getting it right.

"It's important to recognize our suppliers as part of our success," said Debi Wexler, CEO for Whiteflash. "When it comes to Bold Chat, our service sparkles!"

About Whiteflash:

Whiteflash is a full scale manufacturing jeweler specializing in Ideal Diamonds and Fine Bridal Jewelry and stocks the largest inventory of AGS Certified Ideal Cut Diamonds in the world.

The award winning Whiteflash.com website, described by Kiplinger's Magazine as the "Lord of the Online Rings" enables shoppers the world over to view, compare and purchase top quality diamonds, engagement rings and fine jewelry in a convenient and secure environment.

Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Wed, 01 Jun 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “After seven years in the diamond business, Ira Weissman launched a website - Truth About Diamonds - to help diamond shoppers make educated decisions and garner significant savings; and he loves what he does.”



A R T I C L E:

After seven years in the diamond business, Ira Weissman launched a website - Truth About Diamonds - to help diamond shoppers make educated decisions and garner significant savings; and he loves what he does.

Weissman understands that people who buy diamonds are likely doing so for a momentous occasion; they want the product to be just right. But, where does one begin? There are many things to consider when purchasing a diamond ring.

"It's all about building trust," says Weissman. "In addition to teaching people about diamonds, I protect them from unethical diamond-seller practices. I spend time learning about what the person wants and I ensure that they get it."

For instance, bachelors who are ready to take the marital plunge often need guidance and direction when diamond shopping. And, Truth About Diamonds provides that support to ensure that they are not taken advantage of in an industry filled with dishonest players.

Weissman provides online visitors with personal assistance. Visitors to the site post questions and Weissman answers them. He holds their hand every step of the way. Most importantly, his services are free and he almost always helps his readers save significant money.

Many readers have shared positive stories.

One recent visitor to the site said: "Ira is a legend. We had multiple e-mail exchanges and he answered all of my questions. In the end, his service saved me thousands of dollars; he really took the time to understand what I wanted and made excellent recommendations. He didn't push me to spend more than I needed, nor did he sway me to use a specific vendor. We continue to keep in touch and he even followed up with me to see how my fiance liked her diamond ring."

In addition to professional, personalized advice, Weissman offers critical reviews of major diamond sites and provides practical diamond reviews.

"My greatest joy comes from helping people to leave a little extra cash in their pockets for the challenges that lay ahead in married life," adds Weissman.

Weissman is available to write an educational column about diamonds for niche publications such as men's magazines. For more information, visit: www.TruthAboutDiamonds.com .
