Simplex Diam Reaches New Milestone in Diamond & Jewelry Purchases

SimplexDiam, Inc. today announced purchases of over $50 million at retail in the month of July 2008 alone, signaling a move into a new growth phase of its liquidation division.

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 30, 2008 — SimplexDiam, Inc. today announced purchases of over $50 million at retail in the month of July 2008 alone, signaling a move into a new growth phase of its liquidation division.

According to Chairman & CEO, Yogesh Madhvani, “This marks the first time we have gone public with the magnitude of business we do, but it is appropriate to let our prospective clients know our capabilities. Our asset recovery and services firm’s specialty is the diamond and jewelry industry, and we plan to expand further in this important arena.”

As financial regulators and the markets struggle to contain the ongoing credit and mortgage crisis, Simplex’s niche business has, among other major acquisitions, included the entire residual inventory of Friedman’s Jewelers, Inc (Formerly NYSE:FRM). Said a Vice President at Friedman’s, “I appreciate the input they gave us in evaluating our inventory in 2005 and 2006 …The mix of product was too wide…and even included a 17 carat plus GIA certified diamond. It would have been difficult to accomplish what we did without their help. In particular, their suggestions on how to best segregate the inventory and on how to structure the sale to get the maximum recovery were most useful.”

SimplexDiam also worked on the much publicized bankruptcy of LID Inc. as a “stalking horse” bidder, so named for setting the minimum reserve price on a bankrupt company’s assets.” Chris Ellis, the President of Consensus Advisers LLC & CRO in the LID Bankruptcy noted, “SimplexDiam played a number of significant roles during the valuation phase and eventual auction of the $70 million of LID inventory. Their efforts contributed to a greater than expected recovery from the sale of the inventory. We value SimplexDiam’s input and would readily work again with such an industrious team.”

Simplex’s services and consulting division was selected as the sole buying agent in India for a major publicly traded American retailer. Most recently, they have been consulting with the World Jewelry Center. According to Bill Boyajian, former President of GIA and current Managing Director of the WJC project, “We have been working with SimplexDiam and the Madhvani family for some time, and are impressed with their industry knowledge and ability to work on many different creative projects. They are true pioneers and we regard their contributions highly.”

Yogesh Madhvani has been an entrepreneur for over 33 years, founding and running companies in markets as diverse as textiles and the diamond industry. Among his current operations is a manufacturing business that caters to many fine American jewelry retailers. Madhvani was also a founding director of the Indian Diamond & Colorstone Association (IDCA) and a founding member of the Indo Argyle Diamond Council (IADC). He is a member of many other trade bodies such as the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), the Jewelers Board of Trade (JBT), and the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA). He is also a donor to numerous charitable organizations.

Got gold? At gold parties, consumers exchange old jewelry for cash, but sellers beware

By Jennifer Waters, MarketWatch
PARK RIDGE, Ill. (MarketWatch) — On a quiet, tree-lined street in this upscale Chicago suburb, a gaggle of women noshed and drank wine as they waited their turn to have their once-fashionable gold rope chains and unmatched earrings scrutinized under a magnification loupe, poked at by a gold tester and even put through an acid test.
Say good-bye to Tupperware and hello to gold.

This was a gold party, and some of the women walked away with wads of cash in exchange for what they considered junk, unlike other neighborhood parties where they write out checks for plastic salad spinners or skincare and cosmetics.

Debbie Johnson was handed $1,600 after she turned in broken gold chains, earrings without pairs and the wedding bands from a marriage gone sour more than two decades ago.
“I had a baggie in my drawer that I’ve been throwing broken and old things into for 20 years,” she said. “I had a good idea of what it was all worth.”
Kathy Goro gave up a lovely gold necklace her husband gave her when they were dating more than 25 years ago, plus a bracelet and another chain from the 1980s. Her take: $230. Though she still liked the necklace and valued it sentimentally, she never wore it because it pinched the tiny hairs on the back of her neck.
“It’s old stuff. I don’t want to wear it,” she said. “It’s over, so let’s get rid of it. They gave me a pretty penny for it. I’m happy.”
Lots of pretty pennies and big bucks have made women - and men - across the U.S. happy in recent months as they gave up their gold pieces amid record-breaking prices for the commodity.
Though gold prices have slumped from their peak at the $1,000 level last spring to the still-healthy $700s in recent weeks, the parties continue to gain in popularity.
“People love the idea of coming to a party and making money,” said Janine Cosek, a local representative for The Gold Refinery.
Cosek works in sales for a semiconductor maker during the day and spends nights and weekends picking through gold relics at homes in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. In the two months since she has worked for The Gold Refinery, she has been to more than 30 parties.
She gets a commission on each party’s total take, which she said averages about $5,000. So, too, does the party’s host. For opening her Park Ridge home to her friends and serving them wine and appetizers, Karen Anderson was paid $640. That broke down to 10% of the total amount paid out that night plus a $50 bonus because more than 10 women sold their jewelry. And if women at her party book their own parties, Anderson gets 5% of what’s paid out at those parties.
“It went very well,” Anderson said, as the party ended. “I’m most pleased with the profit for myself.”
Gold parties first caught fire earlier last year in Michigan, whose residents were among the first to feel the pangs of a sinking economy and were trading in gold to pay the bills. Many consider these the modern-day Tupperware party, a kind of twisted irony on the heels of a recession.
“This has become a new craze because there’s limited disposable income out there,” said Matt Mauro, general manager for Michigan-based The Gold Refinery. His company relies on word-of-mouth as well as its Web site, TheGoldRefinery.com, for marketing, though there are few tools more powerful than the parties themselves.
“There are a lot of folks who say they never realized that the gold they’ve been ignoring for the last 15 years was worth this much,” he said.
Don’t rush in
But consumers should be wary before their first party. Gold is measured in pennyweights in the U.S. There are about 20 pennyweights to an ounce of gold. Mauro, like most brokers, bases his payouts on where gold prices are and where he thinks they’re headed. Though the numbers change daily, he uses a proprietary method that averages out the current prices with his best guesses of the future. For her part, Cosek merely punches in Mauro’s calculation.
But not all gold is equal. It is measured on a 24-karat system in which 24k is pure gold while 18k is 18 parts gold and six parts other metals, making it 85% pure gold. That’s confusing to some people who believe that if they had an ounce of 14k gold it would be worth the going market price of gold.
That’s the risky part — both for brokers and those selling their gold. At Anderson’s party, for example, no one ever asked how much they were getting per ounce or to have the math explained. If Mauro had been a shyster broker, they could have been cheated out of money.
On the other hand, Mauro is relying on Cosek, who is doing this in her spare time, to determine the weight and verity of the gold. What’s more, he’s giving out stacks of cold, hard cash in a highly volatile market. Gold peaked at over $1,000 an ounce in March and hovered at such lofty levels for much of the summer. On Thursday, gold prices for December contracts closed at $738.50.
Mauro’s cushion is the volume of gold his company sends to refineries coupled with the low overhead. As a result, he’s likely to pay more per ounce than a local jeweler might. “We’ve got it down to a good business science,” he said. “But we need to be careful if we’re paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for a piece of gold that it is real gold and that the price of gold won’t drop dramatically.”
Like many brokers, Mauro has all the gold he’s purchased melted at a refinery and then sells it in a process that puts the gold back in circulation.
Consumers interested in having parties should check with their state attorney’s office to be sure licenses aren’t required. The Better Business Bureau, which has been accumulating stacks of complaints about gold brokers the past year, offers these tips to those wanting to sell their gold for cash:

* Because the price of gold fluctuates, take a piece to several well-established jewelry stores for quotes and/or appraisals.
* Understand the karat and weight of your gold. It is illegal for jewelry in the U.S. to be labeled “gold” if it is less than 10k.
* Understand the scales and be sure that the dealer is weighing and paying the gold by the same standard. Be alert that a dealer does not measure the gold by pennyweight and then pay by the gram, which is commonly used in Europe. That would mean the dealer is paying the consumer less for more weight of gold.
* Remember that everyone’s making money on this. As a result, a piece appraised at a certain value is worth just a portion of that because the purchaser has to make a profit margin on the transaction.
* Keep all transactions in the open and never agree to a buyer who wants to take the jewelry or coins somewhere else or to a back room.
* Check out any companies, including online companies, with the BBB, and use a search engine to find out what other consumers are saying about their experiences with the companies.

Blue Nile rises as analyst ups jewelry retailer

NEW YORK -

Shares of Blue Nile Inc. rose on Tuesday after an analyst upgraded shares of the online jewelry retailer on a decline in the share price, low inventory and little exposure to foreign currencies.

Shares rose $3.66, or 14.7 percent, to end at $28.65.

American Technology Research analyst Tim Boyd upgraded the stock to “Neutral” from “Sell” and said the company is a “best-in-breed, market-share-gaining franchise that leverages a virtually inventory-less model to generate high levels of free cash flow.”

Boyd said a decline in the share price adequately reflects the company’s soft outlook for the fourth quarter and downward revisions to Wall Street expectations for the company in 2009.

So far this year, Wall Street analysts have already slashed 2009 profit and revenue forecasts by 25 percent, and the stock has declined 63.3 percent.

“This suggests that even if 2009 Street estimates are still too high, which we believe they are, the bulk of the estimate revisions are already behind us,” Boyd wrote in a client note.

Boyd also said Blue Nile (nasdaq: NILE - news - people ) has very little exposure to foreign currencies. In the second quarter, international sales accounted for just 11 percent of total revenue.

Paloma Picasso mines mosaics for inspiration, launches new jewelry collection

NEW YORK — If everything in the worlds of art and design has already been done, Paloma Picasso’s trick is making people think it’s new again.

Picasso, the daughter of Pablo Picasso and a longtime jewelry designer, recently launched her newest collection for Tiffany & Co. based on mosaic techniques that are centuries old.

“I have no objection to going back and looking at old catalogues or old photographs,” she says. “Jewelry is about timelessness. A piece of jewelry is here to stay much longer than a dress or gown. You want it to look good, fresh and modern today but you also want it to look good 30 or 300 years down the line.”

The collection is called Zellige, highlighting geometric motifs made from colourful tiles. The idea came to her while restoring a tile fountain at her home in Marrakech, Morocco.

In her own personal jewelry wardrobe, her favourites are constantly changing - a set of nine intertwined bangle bracelets are her current must-wear pieces - but the pieces she’d never leave home without are two pairs of simple earrings: one a set of hammered gold balls and the other a pair of white gold earrings with diamonds.

Earrings, says Picasso, are very flattering to a woman’s face and they accentuate the wearer’s movements, adding a liveliness to her appearance.

She’ll go so far as to say that jewelry-making is an artistic craft but Picasso won’t call it “art.”

“Jewelry and art are not made for the same purpose. … Jewelry is artistic and it’s a creation but it is not art. Art has no purpose except to be what it is, jewelry has the purpose of being worn and has to be pleasing, has to feel good,” she says. “Jewelry has a magical quality to some people, it’s a talisman for some people, and you receive it at a special moment or as a special reward.

“A lot of emotion is attached to jewelry. It’s meant to be part of someone’s life, not to stand on its own.”

As economy falters, more people rush to sell gold, jewelry and coins

By RICK MALWITZ

EAST BRUNSWICK —Last week John Lyons of Ringoes came to the National Estate Jewelry Buyers here to have some jewelry repaired. In addition to the jewelry that he wanted fixed he had a small necklace to sell.

The necklace, he explained, “Was going to sit in the drawer forever.”

Buyer Joe Auriemma weighed the necklace, did the math — based on that day’s gold price of $712.50 an ounce - and gave Lyons $25.

“That pays for gas,” said Lyons.

“We’ve never been busier, in the 10 years I have been here,” said Barry Blank, the owner of the National Estate store on Route 18. “We’re buying tremendous quantities of gold, silver, coins, even diamonds.”

“People no longer want the jewelry, or they just inherited it,” said Blank, a third generation jeweler.

“Or they need the money,” he said.

“I find dealers are scrambling for as much gold as they can get,” said Robert Minichino, operates Central Jersey Rare Coins in Bound Brook, where he buys and sells gold coins, including the American Eagle and the American Eagle, the Canadian Maple Leaf and the South African Krugerrand.

“Dealers are paying over the price of gold,” said Minichino, referring to the price listed on the the New York Mercantile Exchange.

“Just about everybody’s getting rid of their old stuff,” said Russell Bauman of Walter Bauman Jewelers, a family-owned business that operates a chain of jewelry stores in New Jersey. “All women have at least $300 of old gold sitting in their drawer.”

“It started about a year and a half ago,” said Freddie Bauman, president of the family chain, of the recent gold rush. “At first the prices gave them a motivation to sell. Then we started seeing people coming in for gas money,” she said.

Joseph D’Esposito, owner of South River Jewelry and Clock Shop on Main Street in South River, said people selling gold have said things like, “I need to pay my bills. I don’t wear this anymore.”

One seller sold gold to pay for her daughter to go to cheerleading camp, according to D’Esposito.

“People are saying the mortgage is more important,” than holding onto their gold, said Donna Yi, sales manager for Venus Jewelers in Franklin.

Cash for Gold USA, an Internet site that offers customers a chance to mail in pieces of gold — anything from class rings to dental fillings — in exchange for a check, has seen business quadruple in recent months, said company spokesman Steve Schneider.

“Right now people are very worried,” said Schneider. “The aesthetic value is now being outweighed by the precious metal value.”

In midtown Manhattan, Gene Furman, the owner of Empire Gold Buyers, has seen a roughly 25 percent increase in walk-in traffic since major investment banks and other financial institutions ran into their own financial difficulties.

“You name it, they sell it,” Furman said. “People have to pay their mortgages. People have to pay their bills.”

It has always been assumed that gold is a great hedge during poor economic times. Howver, as the stock market has been in serious decline, the price of gold has also been in decline.

Last week the price of gold briefly fell below $700 an ounce for the first time in 14 months, as sellers, according to analysts, needed money to deal with a larger crisis: They were taking a bath in the stock market.

Jeffrey Nichols, managing director of American Precious Metals Advisors, blamed gold’s slide on what he called, “massive indiscriminate liquidation” by large investors worried about the health of the global economy.

“You really should have been selling in March,” said Minichino.

On March 17 the price of gold peaked at $1,033.39 an ounce.

In other words — as anyone who has been managing their 401(k) understands too well — timing is everything.

So who knows where gold is headed?

“I used to know that, but (the price of gold) doesn’t make sense anymore,” said Blank.

“It used to be when the Dow went up gold went down, and the inverse was true, too,” he said.

However, the Dow has plummeted since March, and so has the price of gold.

Gold had previously peaked in 1979 and 1980, topping off at about $850 an ounce. Then it plummeted and leveled off for more than two decades, hovering between $250 and $300, said Blank, before beginning the present climb.

Asked if he knew where gold was headed, Auriemma said, “If I knew I’d be a millionaire.”

While some people are scouring their jewelry boxes to find jewelry they no longer want or need, others are still coming to stores to purchase jewelry.

“Business is not great,” said Yi. “But as long as there is love and lust and men messing up, people will be buying jewelry.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Exquisite Viennese jewelry at Frey Wille

The jewelry company Frey Wille was founded in 1951 by the Viennese enamel artist Michaela Frey, who created ornamental artifacts and jewelry from enamel. She decorated her pieces by hand with floral and folklore ornaments.

After Frey’s death in 1980, the company developed a new, academically trained design team under the leadership of Simone Grunberger-Wille, which focused on the creation of art jewelry, emphasizing the artistic work in every design. She created a new jewelry design concept in which geometric or visionary images dominated the artistic designs. Today Frey Wille is a recognized brand with more than 45 flagship boutiques around the world, and company shops can be found in Paris, Milan, London, Hamburg, Berlin, Tokyo, Beijing and Dubai. The Kyiv boutique of renowned Viennese enamel jewelry is located on Chervonoarmiyska Street.

In addition, Contemporary Art style jewelry and accessories are presented in full measure: men’s and women’s watches with Swiss mechanisms, belts, cuff links, kerchiefs, fine silk scarves, leather handbags and designer pens – fountain and ball-point. Everything is made from first-rate 24-carat gold and silver with enamel.

The latest collection, “Ode to Joy of Life” from the Viennese jewelry atelier, celebrates “joie de vivre” with new, fantastically colorful designs. It is divided into several lines: “Heavenly Joy,” “Paradise Moonlight,” “Endless Love,” “Life’s Ultimate Joy!,” “Red Passion” and “Blue Passion,” which are simply luminous with colors, intersected by curving bands of gold. Dazzling accessories could easily work well with just about anything in your wardrobe from evening attire to business suits, as well as casual wear.
