64-Carat Diamond Heist in NY Federal agents have seized a 64-carat diamond that was stolen at Kennedy Airport and sold for $1 million to a Fifth Avenue jeweler. The rock is valued at approximately $3.3 million according to Brooklyn Federal Court records. The jewel was transported to the city last September by diamond dealer Dennis Van Kerrebroeck, who had an agreement to purchase it from a South African mining company. After U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers had the diamond in custody Van Kerrebroeck contacted a customs broker and arranged clearance for the diamond without the mining company’s consent. Van Kerrebroeck then sold the diamond to Taly Diamond where it was seized last Thursday. Law enforcement is now trying to locate Van Kerrebroeck. As NY continues to experience all kinds of scams in the jewelry industry, we want you to know at Gold-Cash all transactions are honest, safe, and secure.

Winter Olympic Gold Did you know medals were not awarded during ancient Olympic games? Instead winners were given olive wreaths. The medal tradition began during the first modern Olympics in 1896 where first place winners received silver, second place received bronze, and third place winners left empty handed. Throughout history the Olympic medals have been many shapes and sizes with today’s gold medals being silver covered with 6 grams of 24 karat-gold. The Winter Olympic medals have no standard design and have even been made of glass. This year’s Winter Olympic medals have a unique undulating shape said to reflect the Vancouver landscape. Even more unique, the medals were crafted from melted circuit boards. Canadian artists Corrine Hunt and Omer Abel designed the medals with each medal being laser etched and are all composed of materials from recycled electronics. As of today the U.S. leads with most gold medals, 7, and total medals, 24. If you have any gold items that you’d like to sell for cash contact us today!

Grammys, Oscars, and Other Golden Awards With awards season in full swing many of our most talented artists are receiving recognition for their work and are receiving coveted trophies and statuettes. The Grammy Awards, formally known as the Gramophone Awards, are presented annually in the U.S. for outstanding achievement in the music industry. In 1990, Billings Artwork revamped the award. The trophy was much smaller and had a bad habit of breaking at the tone arm. John Billings was able to strengthen the award by making it 30% larger and switching from lead to zinc and aluminum alloy casting. To this day he hand makes and assembles each trophy. Once the trophy is assembled it is plated in gold. The Academy Award, or Oscar, is made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base. It is about 34 cm tall and weighs 8.5 lbs. The statuette depicts a knight holding a crusader’s sword and standing on a reel of film with five spokes representing the original branches of the academy. The naming of the award, Oscar, is surrounded by much speculation. Some believe Bette Davis named the award after first husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson, after winning the award in 1936. Other famous awards platted in gold include the Golden Globes, Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer Prize, and the Emmy Award!

Cash For Gold Scams Gold Act Legislation Wants to Stop Gold Scams Last month Representative Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., introduced the Gold Act Legislation in response to numerous complaints about cash for gold businesses. Rep. Weiner says many customers are upset that their gold was melted down before having a chance to turn down offers on their gold and that cash for gold businesses are claiming that packages of gold items must be getting lost in the mail and did not offer reimbursements. Through the Gold Act Legislation cash for gold companies will have to notify customers of their offer, the individual will have twelve days to accept or reject the gold companies offer before gold items are altered, and if the offer is not accepted the gold company has to insure the package back to the customer. If you’ve ever been one of our customers or are thinking about becoming one, REST ASSURED that we have ALWAYS followed the measures in the Gold Act Legislation before it was even introduced. Since our company was founded we: 1. Send customers FedEx Gold Kits that are free and insured

Caring for Your Gold and Other Jewelry Caring for your Gold and other Jewelry Perhaps you have recently purchased or been given a beautiful new diamond necklace, a gold ring, or a pair of sterling silver earrings. You will want to care for your precious jewelry properly. If you are one of those who has a tangle of chains, rings, earrings and other things all jumbled together in a bag it may be time to sort them out and give them the care they deserve. A big concern for many people who are enjoying the pleasure of collecting or selling estate jewelry is concern for the age of a particular piece, whether it be costume jewelry or finest antique or vintage quality. For estate jewelry and other family heirloom type jewelry the cleaning and storing rules are the same as for any other jewelry item. If you are not sure what a particular is made from (e.g. which metal, what stones) take it to a jeweler and ask, or simply treat with gentle respect. Check all jewelry, but especially estate jewelry or pieces that have been mistreated, for any loose stones, and damaged clasps. If you feel they are worth it get them repaired. Cleaning all Jewelry types It doesn’t matter whether your jewelry piece is the finest 18K gold, the highest quality platinum, or cheap old plated copper or brass. The best thing for every piece is to think soft and gentle. A fine soft cloth is best for all types of jewelry and if necessary a very soft toothbrush. For your most precious gold and other jewelry items a professional cleaning every now and then could well be worth the cost for peace of mind. Emeralds in particular need professional care and it is not advisable to use any commercial cleaning solutions on them. The big No –No’s Never use any solution that contains ammonia, vinegar, acids, or alcohol on any piece of jewelry. The same applies to soap and glass cleaners. Soap will leave a residue on gold and other precious metals and glass cleaner will do the same to your diamonds and other gems. No chlorine – remove jewelry before swimming. Because so many household cleaners contain some of the above products you should take off any jewelry before cleaning. If you find taking off your engagement or wedding band a pain every time you need to wash your hands simply use a very gentle soap-free cleanser instead. It will save not only your rings but your skin as well. Jewelry cleaning products There are some excellent cleaning products available for all kinds of jewelry. Some are especially designed for gold, others for diamonds and gems, and still others for sterling silver. If you are going to use these products make sure you know exactly what your jewelry piece is made of. Don’t use commercial dips on sterling silver jewelry that has been lacquered as it can get underneath the lacquer in parts where it may be wearing off and damage the whole piece. Play it safe and use a cloth. Storage Gold jewelry is best kept in boxes lined with satin or velvet. Keep all jewelry pieces separated so they don’t scratch each other. Chains should be laid flat or hung up to prevent tangling. At a pinch you can get away with wrapping each piece in tissue paper and storing in zip lock bags, but this is not ideal. Make sure all jewelry is kept dry – moisture will ruin any gem and nearly all precious metals.
