This may be a silly question but are there any magazines committed totally to diamonds with ads, articles and classifieds? I would love to suscribe to a magazine that is full of wonderful sparklies!!!! It would be like a printed version of ROCKYTALKY!!!!!!
Charmed, if there's a local jeweler that you purchase from, ask them if they'll give you past issues of JCK or other magazines like it. Better to recycle them, instead of throwing them away. Just a suggestion.
JCK really doesn't have very many pictures in it at all. Quite disappointing. Good articles, but the same advertisers post the same photos of mostly hohum rings. The platinum guild yearly magazines, however, are quite something else. Beautiful pictures and all the top designers. The jeweler that used to give me his old copies has since retired, so I really don't know how to get them anymore...so sad. As far as the best pics available to the public, cruise through bridal magazines or the Robb Report magazine.
Since I am a GIA alumni from my class, I have a subscription to their magazine, Loupe, which is pretty cool! I think it comes quarterly? Hope they let me re-subscribe if necessary.
Hi Charmed
In Australia the popular Wedding magazines usually have engagement and jewelry supplements once or twice a year with magnificent pictures. Perhaps you could find similar in the USA
Facets, For Jewelry Lovers & Watch Enthusiasts, is a new consumer magazine, available on newsstands nationwide. It's got a lot more--and better--pictures than the trades, while still offering gem and jewelry info, plus some fashion stuff, but all related to fine jewelry. If you can't find it at your local Barnes & Noble, contact JCK for a free copy, www.jckgroup.com. JCK publishes it. Facets doesn't have a web site yet, although I've seen it on amazon if you search for "Facets Magazine" under magazine subscriptions.
