    Dear David- Why does JA want to restrict larger diamond sales to
    GIs?

    Telling our GIs that they don't deserve the opportunity to buy a
    diamond larger than a carat sounds pretty un-respectful and frankly
    kinda elitist to me. If you are OK with other jewelry sales, why
    specifically do you not want GIs to be able to buy larger diamonds at
    BXs? "Oh, you all can have hamburger, but you don't deserve steak?"
    I'm willing to give them a break. I don't care if it's a big sale or
    a small one. So just who is trying to get larger diamond sales into
    BXS that scares you guys so much? 

Thanks- Jo
