    Some information you can share. Other information keeps some of us
    in business. 

    A few examples may be: 

    I wouldn't ask a jeweler what he paid for a particular stone. I may
    ask what price range I would have the sell this same stone to
    compete. 

    I've been shot at, nearly blown up, and threatened while searching
    sources overseas. Many dealers have shed blood to locate overseas gem
    sources cheaper than our competitor. It is business savy to keep some
    sources close to the chest. 

    We have patent pending custom cuts gemstones. We would lose our
    shirts if we gave this information to overseas cutters. (It doesn't
    stop them anyhow) 

    On the other hand, sharing techniques, talents and stories is part
    of the business. 

Sincerely,

Ed Cleveland
