    Did you know Yurman uses diffused "artificially colored" stones in
    his jewelry? 

    A friend of mine is treating and selling artificially colored
    (diffused) stones from Bangkok. I was really impressed with the new
    purples, oranges and cobalt looking blues. They have been selling to
    Yurman for many years. 

    Did you know Baily Banks and Biddle do the same? This is a Zales
    corportation. Take a look on the back of the catalog divulging
    treatments in fine print. 

    I'm not sure if the Yurman catalog states the type of diffusion his
    stones undergo? 

    I don't mind them selling diffused stones but the prices certainly
    do not reflect the inferiority of such goods. 

Warm Regards,
