The 750-square-foot salon, a first for a Tiffany location, focuses on engagement rings and diamond jewelry collections.</div> <bR> <div> Diamond collections include engagement jewelry from the classic Tiffany setting to the patented Lucida diamond cut and setting; and the diamond-encrusted rings from the Tiffany Legacy Collection.</div> <bR> <div> "Tiffany diamonds are about more than absolute quality, cut and beauty - they are one of our great traditions," said Jeffrey Bennett, vice president of Tiffany & Co. "A salon dedicated to these timeless jewels serves our customers with an elegant environment designed for comfort and convenience, and with the latest innovations to experience these extraordinary stones in their truest light."</div> <bR> <div> Great attention was given to the store's detail including polished Makore wood panels and stainless steel-framed showcases, all of which were configured for customer convenience as well as to highlight the jewelry. In the private sales rooms, color-adjustable LED lighting recreates daylight for optimum viewing of the diamonds' color and clarity, and also simulates candlelight or room lighting.</div> <bR> <div> "A salon dedicated to our diamonds underscores Tiffany's reputation as a world premier jeweler synonymous with diamonds of the finest quality," said Bennett. "The salon is primarily designed to better serve our customers and also convey the welcoming atmosphere that is a unique part of the shopping experience at Tiffany & Co."</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>           </div> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc000000.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Rio Tinto plans underground expansion, India to benefit: </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc000000.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">81 kgs silver jewellery recovered, 2 arrested:</U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc000000.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">GJEPC for rejoinder to ILO on child labour in diamond industry : </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">HC asks I-T dept to pay for illegal jewellery seizure</U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Rough diamonds to squeeze gem sector profits </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Gems gaining popularity in India, pushing gold to back seat </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">India : Sheetal Manufacturing Co</U></B></I></U></A><A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U> </U></B></I></U></A><A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B>  </B></I></U></A></div> <div> <I><B>              </B></I><A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U>launches 'Kiah' brand diamond jewellery </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Rajesh Exports plans interim dividend </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council</U></B></I></U></A><A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U> </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Damas to open five new outlets by next year </U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News1"><U><I><B><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b70168cc003300.png" HEIGHT="24" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">INDUS Jewellers open new outlet</U></B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:jewellerydesignersden@hotmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:jewellerydesignersden@hotmail.com"><U>Contact us for your advertisements</U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
