I was shopping 4 gifts @ my local Gucci store ” decided 2 check 4 more selections online. I decided 2 check Ebay just 2 look what was out there ” was skeptical on seeing silver jewelry sold on Ebay as Gucci 925. I know that real gucci @ like Neiman ” SFA look like this (cuff links ” tags are a good example w/out the 925 on it):
http://www.jewelrygucci.com

So when I did a search on EBay ” found the exact same gucci jewelry, but w/ the “925″ stamp on it. I know that means the grade 4 the sterling silver, but is it still authentic gucci jewelry or knock off?
I could be answering my own question, but I noticed from the retailers or original Gucci online store it never has the “925″ stamp on it.. Read more about Is “Gucci 925? jewelry authentic as “Gucci” jewelry? …

Total fabrication demand for platinum rose 0.8 percent to 7.06 million ounces in 2007 year-over-year, according to the Platinum Group Metals Yearbook. High platinum prices affected demand in some sectors, such as jewelry and electronics, but were offset by relatively inelastic demand in other sectors, in particular the automotive industry.

In 2008, total fabrication demand could rise 3.2 percent to reach 7.28 million ounces, according to the annual report, which was released Tuesday by CPM Group, a commodities market research, consulting, asset management, and investment-banking firm. Demand for platinum in the auto industry, the largest sector of end-use, is projected to remain strong this year, due mostly to strong demand from developing nations. Jewelry demand could decline again this year, while demand in China and other uses are projected to increase slightly. Read more about Platinum Demand for Jewelry Fell in 2007 …

Mehul Choksi took his family’s tiny Mumbai diamond business and turned it into a $1 billion international retailer. But he won’t be satisfied until Gitanjali Gems is much, much bigger Growing up, Mehul Choksi recalls, he often hunted for rough diamonds in his Mumbai home. His father, a diamond trader, would bring home diamonds for grading and sorting and often a loose stone or two would fall on the floor. The kids–six of them, with Mehul the youngest–would scour the floors for anything gleaming.
