Notes from the desk, for the counter.
Short pieces on the trade detail jewellers ask us about most. Written to be useful on the shop floor, not to sell anything. New entries also appear on Instagram.
- Sourcing
Why we send you one stone, not a hundred
What a marketplace cannot do for an independent jeweller, and what a desk at the bourse can.
- Briefing
Natural or lab-grown: what to ask your client, what to tell us
Five questions that turn a vague request into a brief we can fill in a day.
- Pairs
Matched pairs: what a 2% tolerance actually means
Table, depth, measurements and the things a report will never tell you about two stones side by side.
A question for the desk?
If a client asked you something you could not answer on the spot, ask us. If it comes up often, it becomes the next entry.
