Jewelry Weblog highlights Novell’s Great American Metal Exchange.

Jewelry weblog

Leading online jewelry authority The Jewelry Weblog recently featured Novell’s new initiative to put affordable platinum bridal jewelry into jewelry store showcases – The Great American Metal Exchange (GAME). The premise of GAME is simple; jewelry stores can exchange precious metals from merchandise that is unwanted, broken or just not selling for a platinum engagement ring collection with a substantial retail value. GAME answers questions that many jewelry stores have in a tough economy – what can retailer do with old jewelry that’s not moving? And how can a jeweler actually increase their inventory without spending a lot of money?

GAME has also been featured in Yahoo! News.


A surprise proposal in New York’s Bryant Park.

Proposal in Bryant Park.

Exactly six months to the day after old high school friends Jamie Brickwedel and Christopher Barlo reconnected on a chance bus ride, Chris surprised Jamie with his proposal in New York’s Bryant Park.  During the December 2, 2010 Christmas tree lighting ceremony (and soon after Jamie had serenaded her soon-to-be fiancé with Whitesnakes’ “Hear I Go Again” Karaoke-style while Rock of Ages performed it live on a nearby stage), the gentleman drew a ring box from behind his back containing a platinum engagement ring (Novell’s SE2459-LC) set with a 1 karat cushion-cut center diamond. The young lady was pleasantly surprised, and recounts the experience fully in the post The Big News on her blog The Island of Reality.

The future-bride is a Medical Editor at IMC-2 (pronounced “IMC squared”), while the future-groom is a Senior Electrician at Electronic Environments.

Why choose platinum for your engagement ring? Simply put, platinum is a durable naturally white metal that ages very well. And since platinum’s price point is now very similar to gold (and white gold is not naturally white and turns yellow over time), platinum is worth the investment for engagement rings, wedding rings and jewelry.

LA Times highlights new platinum engagement ring.

New engagement ring featured in LA Times.

On January 6th, 10th and 11th 2010, LA Times included several ads featuring one of Novell’s upcoming platinum engagement ring styles. Novell is extremely excited about the preview press we have been able to receive from LA Times and look forward to launching the new bridal line in the very near future. While newspaper circulation overall is suffering in the United States, longstanding titles such as the LA Times, NY Times and Wall Street Journal still have their solid audience. In particular, special Sunday supplements dedicated to weddings and events like The Academy Awards perform extremely well. The Los Angeles area can also be considered a region of trendsetting consumers, so it makes complete sense that new products should be presented to future brides and grooms in this valuable area.  This platinum engagement ring will soon be available through an authorized Novell retailer. Please contact one for all pricing and manufacturing options.
