New Technology in Diamond Properties Analysis

Isee2 company has developed a technology that works as a retail selling aid allowing buyers to measure the beauty of a diamond beyond its classically graded properties.

A diamond's beauty is its selling quality and can differentiate between diamonds graded alike – that something that makes an exceptional diamond outshine the others. Isee2 technology can make such detail analysis.

How it works

The technology is based on a software that analyzes the diamond with the help of two devices: one measuring the cut quality aspects while the other is a high power magnifier used to read the ionized inscription on the table of every Isee2 diamond.

The diamond is scanned by a camera that sends the images to a computer which processes 48 different lighting positions during its calculations. Thus are made objective evaluations of: the amount of light returned from the diamond , the degree of contrast between the 57 facets and the quality of the cut (brilliance, scintillation and symmetry).

Diamonds' appearance differ when observed in diffuse/ambient light conditions. Strong light conditions emphasize fire and scintillation whereas in softer light the optical symmetry is emphasised more.

Unlike BrillianceScope, Isee2 performs its analysis in diffuse light conditions. Diamonds that perform well on Isee2 analysis will look smashing in softer light conditions. If the diamond is well graded on the BrillianceScope it will look stunning in direct light conditions.

This technology facilitates the choice decision by permitting buyers to be convinced of the qualities of a stone all by themselves without the help of a layman.

Turn your Business' New Year Resolutions in PR Revolutions

As eyes look forward to a new business year, many small business owners and entrepreneurs are hoping that this upcoming year will be the one that catapults them into success. But according to Shannon Cherry, APR, businesses often overlook a key element when making their business plans and resolutions.

"Most new businesses fail within three years â€" and it's often due to the fact that many business owners think that simply hanging up an OPEN sign and placing an ad in the yellow pages will attract customers," says Cherry, president of Cherry Communications (http://www.cherrycommunications.com), a public relations and marketing firm which helps small businesses, consultants and entrepreneurs to be heard. "What it takes is a marketing strategy that's effective â€" and in the case of many small business owners â€" on a limited budget. They need public relations to turn the resolutions into revolutions."

She says public relations is one of the most cost-effective methods of marketing available today. "Besides the fact that it's low cost or no cost, public relations can help establish your credibility. It can position you as the revolutionary leader and expert in your field."

Cherry suggests including your public relations efforts as part of a year-long, strategic business plan. "As you're looking toward what you're going to accomplish in the future, make sure you incorporate different public relations efforts as part of your complete plan," she says. "That way you'll be sure to schedule it in, just like any other business task."

Cherry offers some low-cost public relations strategies to help revolutionize small businesses:

1) Write articles. "Articles don't have to be long; they just need to be informative," says Cherry. "Submitting online, as well as offline, provides a good chance to get your name in print at no cost."

2) Write press releases. "Reporters everywhere are looking for stories, and a press release gives them the information to write that story," she says. "Just make sure it's newsworthy, not just an advertisement."

3) Write a newsletter. Cherry stress a newsletter should contain content valuable to your target market, as well as promote your products and services.

4) Use your business cards. "Think of your business card as a mini billboard and start handing them out everywhere," explains Cherry. "Include them in all your correspondence and put them in places that they'll be seen."

5) Start Speaking. "Speaking in front of an audience usually makes you an expert. People like to buy from experts," she says. "Speaking is free, and it's just like making a sales call to many people at one time."

Cherry says successful companies make public relations a priority. "Whether selling direct, through distribution channels or via e-commerce, a successful company must achieve and maintain a strong market presence through a continuous and effective public relations program."
