That would be "James Allen Schultz" I really like the design Jim. Any plans to add the real photos in the signature collection as on your other site.

Oh I bet you are right...I realized the pave ring pictures were the same. But I also knew that Lenoid and Irenia dont let just anyone become a vendor here. I really an enjoying their site though, any clues as to when we will be able to see the settings without clicking on the 3d models?

Good detective work. At away Jim for your 30 day returns policy. Were you listening the last 48 hours? Jim, best of wishes on the launch. Maybe you'll share a story about this development, but I think many past purchasers, including myself, who have involved our significant other in working with you, will appreciate the name change, if not more. Regards, Ira (Ruffles have Ridges) Z. |

Hey folks! This is Jim, err, I mean James Allen, err - whatever ![]() Yes - we have a new website that we're really proud of - www.jamesallen.com The site is something Michele and I started planning two years ago and unoffically launched earlier this month. We spent a couple weeks working out most of the bugs (notice I said MOST) before we asked Leonid to change over our banners and listings earlier this morning. James Allen is 100% owned and operated by the same people that created DCD over six years ago. We strongly felt, however, that the James Allen website and name would better match the quality of diamonds and customer service that has been our focus from the beginning. We are excited about your feedback and will be making daily improvements on the new website. Tonight I'm sure Michele and I willl pop a bottle of bubbly to celebrate this exciting transition in our business! Please feel free to call, email or IM me with your questions, comments or suggestions. Thanks again, Jim Schultz |

Matatora, All of the rings and jewelry have larger images and side profiles if you click on the "Large View" button under the item thumbnail. I hope this answers your question! Jim Schultz |

I tried the large veiw on some of them and it didnt work....Perhaps it is just my computer but for alot of the engagment ring items I had to do the 3D veiw. It will be up for veiwing soon enough I imagine!

Date: 7/28/2005 2:56:18 PM Author: James Allen We are excited about your feedback and will be making daily improvements on the new website. Tonight I'm sure Michele and I willl pop a bottle of bubbly to celebrate this exciting I offer good wishes in this new/continuing venture. One suggestion...consider having specials/announcements/e-mail reminders of updates for your past customers. Also... Please feel free to call, email or IM me with your questions, comments or suggestions. even if they are creative....? I copy from your site... "James Allen values your feedback on our products and our service but requests that you be specific in your comments and not submit creative ideas, inventions, suggestions or materials...." I have to think maybe you've gotten some lawyers involved in the text for your "terms of use" section, and might consider reviewing again. While I'm on a roll... I do like especially the brightness and look of some of your images. I miss the layered database you had previously, but am guessing nobody wanted to buy diamonds from those last two "layers"...although the text you used for "average" seemed to be clever enough. I miss the search protocols you had...somehow seems now more of a standard approach and look, where it was more unique and straightforward before, one search taking you into both the signature series and other options. I'll write you separately with a couple of other thoughts (the interactive tutorial is something that will certainly get attention, and I want still to figure out that download)...but wish you well as you continue to add value with your business. Once again, name change and especially extension of time on returns are winners in my book. Regards, Ira (Ruffles have Ridges) Z. |

We have too long of a history and too many wonderful past customers to completely let go of DCD right away. I think it's reasonable, however, to think that a year or so down the line as we could change our mind. What do you think - should we keep DCD up and running forever? Jim Schultz |

Years ago, the only thing I told Jim was that I wished he had chosen a different name for his company. Truthfully, the DCD name has not hurt all that bad, but I always thought it did not make outstanding quality diamonds seem quite as valuable as a different name might have done. I welcome the change and we'll all see how it goes. Now that Jim and DCD has a working reputation, it may prove a better time for the name change than at the beginning. AGA wishes you much success!
