Ditto, here are the websites plus -
Re-reading, I DO see, per Todd, you ARE asking about Winfields. But, fyi, with DCD/James Allen, you could see the name change through a series of threads here, from a few years ago. Actually, I think what Todd says applies here, too.
All three are advertisers here, yes. But do see this thread in FAQS.
Personal thoughts...this may be a function of statistics...with one of the largest vendors here being watched very closely, and where change happens naturally. That said, surely the details matter...and although I'm not sure the last story's actually been told here, I do think the answer is probably a function of business, that is not too substantive to performance. I suppose none of what I've written here really goes to your question though, so you might even take this long answer as a reinforcer to your own question, and support of further insight, if anyone really has any. (If anyone saw the recent MSN/Slate post about Biden and his Bidenisms, maybe he and I should join a club!).
My on line presence changed from Winfield''s/WinkJones.com to www.HighPerformancediamonds.com because it more clearly states what we are truly about and the educational content of the site. We just felt that we wanted a name that was more indicitive of what we believe in and what we do.
Well, as usual, Todd beat me to the punch and did a very nice job of explaining why I changed my name...Date: 9/22/2009 11:51:22 AM

Okay, I ''think'' that I can answer your questions without violating the forum rules pertaining to one vendor discussing another vendor since the answers are basic enough, but if not ''I apologize'' in advance...
I was involved with the launch of High Performance Diamonds, so... Wink wanted to launch a new web site which was descriptive of the diamond quality which he represents and ''High Performance Diamonds'' is certainly a good description of the Crafted by Infinity ideal cut diamonds which that web site focuses upon.
IDJ, Excel and Union Diamonds are all known here on PS, you can run a search for their names using the search box on this page.
John was offered an excellent opportunity to move up to the cutter level of the game by Infinity Diamonds and Brian Gavin with White Flash recognized the magic of the opportunity and said ''go for it'' - they remain good friends.
There is a thread within the Diamond Hangout section of the forum pertaining to Brian Gavin''s departure from White Flash, as I recall it''s around late December / early January.
While many of us have redesigned our web sites over the past year, I think you''ll find that the people behind the sites are still the same despite the web sites having a more professional image or ''corporate feel'' as DHouser described it. Many of us felt it was time for our sites to have a face lift and changed our standard HTML format to template style designs and the basic structure of this type of architecture tends to look a lot more formal - I know that I''m still trying to get used to it!
