Will The US$1.1 Billion Gems Stolen From The Dresden Green Vault Museum Ever Be Seen Again?
Yes and no. This event reminds me of the movie, Thomas Crown Affair. You will never know the true motive behind heist, because it could end up in a private collection forever.

Gem Facts: For Astrologers, Jewelers, And Consumers
I want to bring astrologers, jewelers, and consumers together on a right platform. My focus is to inform gemological facts to astrologers, jewelers, and consumers on issues related to colored stones, diamond, pearl and coral, because in all cultures they are part of birthstones. Today or tomorrow consumers are going to purchase or wear birthstones for personal or astrological reasons. Don't you want to know what truly they are? Of course, you do, because it's your money and time that matters.
. Astrologers and Jewelers
Before astrologers and jewelers recommend birthstones to consumers, they need to act in good faith and know the true facts on colored stones, diamond, and organic gems in the best interest of their consumers.
. Consumers
Consumers must ask logical questions to their astrologers and jewelers on colored stones, diamond, and organic gems before purchasing for personal or astrological reasons. Many astrologers and jewelers interpret the gemological characteristics of birthstones differently. Many are not trained or practicing gemologist. Consumers simply don't know the facts because they haven't learnt to ask the right questions.
For just US$1 per session, I will help consumers ask the right questions to astrologers and jewelers before purchasing birthstones. Consumers are the end users. Consumers must have every right to know the facts.

Does Going Public Work For Jewelry Companies?
Yes and no. For jewelry companies to prosper, you need a well-rounded CEO, who can manage the board, investor expectations and consumers satisfaction. Only a few have those skills.
