Engagement Ring Prices Getting Squeezed.

Our colleague Ken Gassman of Idexonline.com has just pointed out in an excellent article what many of us in the Industry have been painfully aware of for some time:


Prices of diamond engagement rings, loose diamonds, Gold and Platinum jewelry are being squeezed to the bone and profit margins for Vendors are shrinking.

2. Increased competition by specialty Vendors, discount stores such as Walmart, luxury retailers, and of course, The Internet.

I am not very great with English but I come up this real easy to translate.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

It’s actually a nice and useful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.

Your stuffs excellent. Keep it up!
