Fashion in a flash: New jump drives designed as jewelry
Don’t call it a comeback: USB drives have been around for years.It’s just that instead of costing a king’s ransom, they can now be purchased for less than the price of three lattes. These portable storage devices, also known as flash, jump, and thumb drives, are being used for everything from selling cereal to promoting movies.
Last month, Matchbox Twenty released its latest album, “Exile on Mainstream,” in traditional CD format, but the pop rockers also began offering it on a USB bracelet at Best Buy for $35 with extras such as photos and videos. The bracelets are made of silicone, similar to the “Live Strong” ones made famous by Lance Armstrong.

Selling Jewelry Is Mostly Pitfalls, Not Much Glitter
IT may be a cameo handed down from your grandmother or your father’s 1940s Hamilton watch or a ring you bought years ago that you no longer wear and now want to sell. While buying jewelry, whether at department or specialty stores, craft fairs or on eBay, is quick and easy, selling it is often slow, difficult and confusing.

Recently, we introduced our ultra extravagant Carmelita’s Pear Cut 3 Stone Ring. It was so lavish, in fact, that we couldn’t find any celebs wearing something similar. All of sudden, Ms. “Posh Spice” Beckham showed up at her hubby’s soccer game sporting a rock looking awfully familiar!

All Colored Diamond ring from J. R. Dunn Jewelers
Fancy Yellow Diamond Ring 11.97 Carats!
The Hot Pick for today is my FAVORITE piece of jewelry in our store. It’s a Fancy Yellow Diamond Ring by Diva, that has almost 12 carats of diamonds! Working for J. R. Dunn Jewelers for almost seven years has made me more of a jewelry lover than I ever thought I could be. I grew up in rural Vermont and the items I see in our store just wouldn’t fly in that conservative lifestyle, Vermonters are very laid back and tend to be VERY practical. 
Thankfully in the last 7 years I have “seen the light”; Jewelry can be a wonderful indulgence for a woman!
This colored diamond ring is from the Diva Collection. It is a beautiful light yellow oval shaped diamond weighing 10.09 carats.

Jewelry chain all in the Dinh family
Between 1975 and 1979, Tien Dinh and Mui Luong tried unsuccessfully six times to escape from Vietnam with their six children.
Many escaping families split up hoping to improve the chances that at least some of them would make it, said son Hanh Dinh. “But my parents said, ‘Whoever God gave us is family. If we die, we all die. If we live, we all live.’ ”
