Re: Ok new topic.. What is new with you???
Hi, Lisa, Guess I've been gone awhile, too. April 30th or thereabouts...finally figured out with older son where he'd be going to college. We chose Goucher. It could have been both more and less costly. But, I think it'll be good for him. And, next month I'll be at a 40th high school reunion. What y... |

Re: Internet sales tax on the horizon???
I went to look for a thread on this topic, and found this one. I guess the senate just approved this, and the house is now pending, where Republicans are split. Hope all is well. Ira Z. |

Re: Congratulations JulieN on 10,000 Posts
Julie congratulations, and thanks for sticking with it. I think you gapped awhile, and then came back, no? Speaking of which, I remember you were quite the math sharpie? Has that developed for you? My older son is just heading off to college, and frankly, I can't find the Who's Who board anymore. Ca... |

Re: Very negative JamesAllen.com experience
I do think that PSers are protective of their pet vendors, but I also agree with 04diamonds<3 that perhaps it was premature to have posted about the experience before trying to resolve the issue internally with JA.

Re: GIA cut grade vs. AGS cut grade system. Which's better??
Thanks, Ira and Paul. But Ira, if neither GIA nor AGS can assess light performance adequately or as well as you think diamonds should be evaluated, who else can, for us consumers buying diamonds online and not able to view them in person?

Re: GIA cut grade vs. AGS cut grade system. Which's better??
Others should check me, but you can't use a sifting system backwards. Although 3 D calculations may have been used to come up with GIA's system, once the proportions were then computed and "frozen," you can't get back to 3D from the fixed picture and proportions created. With GIA, the give... |

Re: The Kimberley Process and the Chinese - New Article
So, Kimberley meetings have come and gone. The Jewelers of America did a helpful piece, I think, summarizing what they liked. What they clarified, I think, for some, is that if jewelers wish to continue to explain why the jewelery being bought in the US is without conflict, it is not so much as beca... |

The Zukermans go to GOG (and to college)
My older son, now 17, is shopping for college. That put Adelphi and Hofstra on the map for us, and as we planned to go there last weekend, in short order I realized, I’d be on Long Island. There was someone else I knew on Long Island. I sent Jonathan a note, and he REALLY quickly wrote back, and inv... |

Re: GIA vs AGS - Cut quality and finding a Canadian Diamond
