Yehuda Diamonds Vows to Fight Any Blue Nile Action Aimed at Halting Price Comparisons

2008-02-08T07:11:00.000-08:00

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 8, 2008 - The Yehuda Diamond Company has
told a federal court in Washington State that it has done nothing
wrong in comparing the price and appearance of its clarity-enhanced
diamonds to those natural non-enhanced stones sold by competitor, Blue
Nile Inc.

In defending itself against a lawsuit filed by Blue Nile, Yehuda
Diamond said in a related statement that "consumers have an absolute
right to know how much they stand to save by shopping with us and we
will defend that right vigorously both in court and the marketplace."

Yehuda Diamond, which has earned widespread industry and consumer
loyalty for its successful challenge to leading online jewelers, sells
its clarity-enhanced diamonds exclusively through respected retail
jewelers, who offer personalized, expert, face-to-face customer
service. By contrast, Blue Nile bypasses the retail distribution
chain.

Blue Nile, which seeks to stop Yehuda Diamonds' pricing comparisons,
filed its lawsuit on December 18, 2007. In its complaint, Blue Nile
acknowledges that "clarity enhancement can improve a diamond's
apparent clarity by one or two grades." But Blue Nile contends in its
complaint that Yehuda Diamonds' comparisons to its prices are
"misleading."

"What would be misleading would be to prevent consumers from being
able to make the choice between our clarity-enhanced diamonds and
those Blue Nile sells without clarity enhancement," said Dror Yehuda
in a company statement. "The public needs to know that our prices,
which come with unsurpassed expert service, are - plain and simple -
lower than Blue Nile's prices."

Full details concerning the price-advantages, brilliance and other
characteristics of Yehuda quality-enhanced diamonds can be found at
www.yehuda.com. In addition, the Yehuda web site explains how it
encourages consumers to visit a local jeweler and personally examine
the diamonds before they buy - without cost, obligation or pressure.

What is safe to clean my diamond with?

2005-07-28T13:52:00.000-07:00

Dear Emily,
Thank you for your interest in Yehuda Clarity Enhanced Diamonds.
You can clean your diamond either the old fashion way, which will be with a toothbrush and soap, or with a non-ammonia based jewelry cleaner. But it is always safer to buy the jewelry cleaner for pearls, because it's safer for the diamond, for the gold and for your hands.
Shelly

What can reverse the process?

2005-07-22T13:32:00.000-07:00

Dear Maria
The enhancement can be reversed when direct heat is put on your Yehuda Clarity Enhanced diamond, for example if you take your ring to be re-tipped. Also, soaking your Yehuda Diamond in boiling acids or ammonia bases can damage the treatment.

We offer a lifetime guarantee with every Yehuda diamond sold and should the enhancement ever be reversed for any reason, we will re-enhance the diamond at no charge to you, no questions asked.

Are the clarity grades I see on the site before or after enhancement?

2005-07-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

Dear Phil
All of the clarity grades of the diamonds that you see on our site are after the process has been completed.

Can every diamond be enhanced?

2005-07-21T14:48:00.000-07:00

Dear Julia
Not every diamond can be enhanced. Only one out of 500 diamonds may be fit for the process.
The diamond should be examined by the jeweler which will decide whether the stone can be enhanced or not.

How can I identify a Yehuda Diamond?

2005-07-21T14:38:00.000-07:00

Dear Tami
Every Yehuda Diamond has a built-in signature "flash effect."
The flash effect appears as a line of vivid color at the location of the enhancement and can be seen under normal 10x magnification.

How many diamonds can I request to view?

2005-07-15T12:57:00.000-07:00

Dear Kelly
You can pick up to two diamonds to see each time.
We will be able to ship the loose diamonds or diamond jewelry to your nearest retailer 24 hours after you ask for it.
Shelly

Do we get guarantee with the diamond?

2005-07-15T12:52:00.000-07:00

Dear John

With each diamond sold Yehuda provides a unique business card-sized CD, which when played on a standard PC, describes the Lifetime Guarantee.

Shelly
