|
The Dallas Mavericks presented the 2011 NBA Championship rings to players during an on court ceremony before last night?s game at American Airlines Center. Cast in 14 karat white gold, each ring prominently features the distinctive Mavericks logo set in brilliant round diamonds. The rings were delivered earlier in the week by Jostens, a leading designer and producer of custom championship jewelry. The Mavericks team, including players Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry, collaborated with Jostens master jewelers to create custom rings for all players, coaches and members of the Mavericks organization.
?We are thrilled with the way the rings turned out,? said Mavs owner Mark Cuban. ?The detailing of the ring is amazing, from the 31 diamonds representing the number of years the Mavs have been in the NBA to the ‘Time is Now’ slogan to the results of our Playoff run. These rings will be cherished by every player and coach.?
The 2011 NBA Championship ring recognizes the Mavericks? successful season and first Larry O?Brien NBA Championship Trophy for Dallas. The prominent Mavericks logo on the ring top is set against a custom blue stone encircled by 31 custom cut princess diamonds, one for each year the Mavericks have been in Dallas and the NBA. The ring bezel features ?World Champions? flanked by 10 round cut diamonds on each side of the crest.
One shoulder of the distinctive ring includes the player?s name and number along with the Mavericks stylized ?M? and familiar NBA logo. The Mavericks ?M? features 15 stones to represent the 15 members of the 2011 Championship Team. The opposite shoulder incorporates ?Dallas Mavericks? with the team motto, ?The Time Is Now? engraved in a ribbon. The side also includes the NBA Championship trophy created with round brilliant cut diamonds and ?2011? appearing in blue enamel against a black antiqued background.
Custom engraving on the inside of each ring enhance the intricate, one-of-a-kind design. The original Dallas Mavericks team logo, in honor of the team?s first owner, Don Carter, is shown on one side. The other side features the results of the four playoff series won, with the NBA Finals victory over Miami slightly larger.
?It is an honor to help the Mavericks celebrate their breakout season with this championship symbol,? said Chris Poitras, director, Sports Sales and Marketing, Jostens. ?We would like to congratulate the entire organization and sincerely hope that each ring produced by our master jewelers will be worn with pride and reflect the significance of the Mavericks? win in NBA history.?
The team is offering a custom selection of personalized jewelry and collectibles, available at http://www.jostens.com/Mavericks, to help Maverick Season Ticket Holders and fans celebrate and remember the championship season that culminated in a 4-2 series victory over the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA finals. The team will also work with Jostens to help fans participate in the championship experience by hosting a series of events at home games through the month of January.
Jostens has been a leader in the design and production of championship rings and fine jewelry that recognize professional teams and athletes for over 60 years. Custom designed rings are produced at Jostens-owned facilities in Dallas, Minneapolis and Montreal.

| Jewelry Designers Inspire New Artbeads.com Website Design |
|
Artbeads.com, the Gig Harbor, Wash., online retailer of beads and jewelry supplies, launched their new site design on Wednesday, August 19; complete with enhanced features and improved navigation.
While Artbeads.com has long been a source for inspiration among jewelry designers, when it came to their website design, Artbeads.com turned to these designers for inspiration. “We wanted to create an experience at Artbeads.com that mirrored the jewelry designer’s creative process.” says Artbeads.com President and Chief Creativity Officer, Cynthia Kimura. “As this usually begins with a search for inspiration, we decided to give much more visibility to the jewelry design ideas in our Learning Center.”
The new Artbeads.com home page now features jewelry design ideas with larger graphics at the top of the page. The primary site navigation has also changed to include an entirely new Learning Center tab behind which lies an expanded set of links to over 500 jewelry and craft design ideas, ideas for upcoming events and a variety of resources such as handy tips and video tutorials. The Learning Center itself has also received a complete face lift and reorganization with a greater emphasis on Artbeads’ growing library of free jewelry making videos.
The next step in a jewelry designer’s creative process is to select the beads and components they need for their design. “While our site navigation had grouped products by beads and components, when we studied how jewelry designers shop we found three distinct types.” says Steve Groenier, Artbeads.com VP of Search Marketing and Customer Service. “Jewelry designers tend to look for products based on popular categories, by component type or by material.” With this mind, the Artbeads.com site navigation was updated to reflect these three types of jewelry supply shoppers. A designer who is looking only for silver items can now click one link to browse Artbeads’ collection of cast sterling silver beads and components as well as Bali beads and Hill Tribe silver beads.
In addition to reaching out to jewelry designers, Artbeads.com sought ideas from everyone at the company. “I started working on the new site design about 8 months ago by asking the different departments to give me a list of things they would like to see included in a new site design,” said Carey Kimura, VP of Marketing Communications, who along with his executive duties also acts as the company’s web designer and art director. Most of the ideas involved adding features or reorganizing elements of the website.
“It was my job to marry form and function with a design that was aesthetically pleasing while at the same time enhancing the user experience and increasing sales conversions,” Kimura said. One of the most noticeable differences is the width of the site, which is now wider to accommodate the majority of computer users who now view monitors set at higher resolutions than in the past. This opened up real estate on the web pages for more product photos and a larger percentage of page elements “above the fold.” It also made more room for more creative treatments of sections like the Learning Center, an educational and inspirational resource for the Artbeads.com customers.
The feedback from jewelry designers, customers and staffers was also used to improve the site’s technology, driving enhancements in search and an introduction of a user registration. The new search tool was enhanced to show inspirational jewelry design ideas in a much more prominent and visual way with every search result. The ability to narrow those search results was also updated to mirror the site navigation with refinements by category, component type and material. It also includes further refinements for color, measurement and country of origin. “We’re very excited about how the new site search shows off our products with larger images along with gorgeous jewelry designs from our Learning Center.” says Drea Solan, VP of Digital Content. “We’ve also included our customers’ gold bead product ratings with the search results for jewelry designers to see our top-rated products at-a-glance.” Customer will also now have the ability to register giving them the ability to view their order history, create a list of their favorite products and share these favorites with friends and family. These features will also make it much easier for designers to reorder the jewelry supplies they need to reproduce previous designs.
Artbeads.com is a leading provider of beads and jewelry supplies for jewelry designers and the beading community. Artbeads.com caters to the quality-conscious designer with products like Swarovski crystal beads and the finest sterling silver beads, but also works vigorously to keep prices low. Thanks to Artbeads’ buying power, those looking for wholesale beads are attracted by wholesale pricing discounts, no minimum order requirements and fast, free shipping anywhere in the US. With a vast Learning Center, Artbeads.com is also a popular destination for beginners looking for jewelry designs and tips on how to make jewelry.

| Conflict Minerals Infographic Provides Visual Overview of Important Issue |
|
Venkel Ltd. has released ?Conflict Minerals 3TG?, a Conflict Minerals infographic, designed to provide a visual overview of the issue. While not a new topic of conversation, the mining of minerals in areas where profits support armed conflict or human rights abuses is getting increased attention as of late. Especially of interest are those minerals mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The minerals mined from this area are Tungsten, Tantalum, Tin and Gold, often referred to collectively as ?3TG?. Businesses that rely on these substances, most commonly those involved in the production of electronic devices and jewelry, are becoming more concerned with the conditions under which these substances are obtained. Venkel has released the infographic as an educational resource on this important issue.
?This is the second of several infographics pertaining to environmental issues that we intend on releasing as educational resources for interested parties. An infographic of the Conflict Minerals issue is of particular interest since it highlights human rights abuses and not merely issues of the environment. We wanted to do our part in raising awareness, especially among those in our industry, and are hopeful that it will be a helpful tool?, said Alex Rivera, Environmental Compliance Manager for Venkel.
The infographic includes a brief definition of a conflict mineral, a map showing worldwide production of each mineral, the estimated amount of funds that are going to the armed conflict within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and a list of the major players involved in the trade of these minerals. Also included is a listing of several human rights groups that have more information on the subject.
Venkel Ltd., a supplier of Surface Mount Capacitors, Resistors, Inductors and other Surface Mount Components, recently released ?RoHS: Past, Present, Future? a RoHS infographic that provides a visual summary of the well-known, broad-reaching directive.
?Conflict Minerals 3TG? is available from the Venkel website, no registration is required. A pdf download of the infographic is available

About three hours from the time you read this, Facebook shares will start trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol FB. Who knows what the opening tick will look like — perhaps the London bookies may have a line on that. But one thing is for sure — a few already have made billions. Our own Erskine Bowles owns 20,000 Facebook RSUs (restricted stock units) – but they are not considered common stock. These RSUs equate to one share of the company. RSUs are often used by private technology companies...
