Message From the Board of Directors |
|
Dear Member,
By now you should have received your club membership invoice. As you can see this year's billing for membership has been divided into two bills, each one for six (6) months.
Your current bill reflects your fee for the period:
April 1, 2022, thru September 30, 2022.
The second bill will be sent out in mid-September.
Due to inflation and rising costs, the second bill will likely reflect an increase in membership dues. However, our newly constructed location and improved benefits will more than compensate.

|
After a 2-year pandemic hiatus, the 25th annual conference of the Scottish
Gemological Association took place at the Westerwood/Doubletree golf resort outside of Edinburgh, Scotland from April 29th to May 2nd.
Among the 110 attendees were four Americans, including
DCWC board member Charles Carmona, GG, ASA.
He spoke briefly to the assembled delegates about online education opportunities currently coming from the United States.
The program included various topics on diamonds, colored gemstones and pearls, lapidary and carving arts, the auction markets, historical gems, and jewelry. There was also an inside tour of the national museum collections in Edinburgh and social events on the first three nights. An educational and fun time was had by all.
Charles Carmona is President of Guild Laboratories, Inc., Los Angeles, with partner offices in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China, and Bangkok, Thailand. Guild Laboratories provide gemstone testing and diamond grading services to the wholesale trade and jewelry appraisals to the public.

Rapnet "Super Hero" Edition |
|
|
|
When DCWC member Chris Zoettl was asked by Rapaport which superhero he would be, this was his answer:
"If I were a superhero, I would probably call myself Connecto Man. No matter if it's in my own business or as the Young Diamantaires worldwide event organizer, I love bringing people together. I think no matter where you are or where you're from, it's always important to connect, be nice to each other, and have a good time. Bringing people together, making them feel at ease, and having a beer together- that's something I personally enjoy. I also think it's important in building a better future together."
