Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CTHR), the sole manufacturer of moissanite lab-created gemstones, The Most Brilliant Jewel in the World, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010.

Profitable Q3 2010 – net income of $511,952 vs. prior-year period net loss of ($569,367)
Net sales increase 40% to $3.0 million vs. $2.1 million in Q3 2009
$8.3 million cash and investments, no long-term debt
Positive cash flow from operations
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 40% to approximately $3.0 million, compared with approximately $2.1 million in sales during the corresponding period of the previous year. The improvement in net sales during the quarter reflects increased reorders from the Company’s existing customer base, which resulted from the Company’s collaborative efforts with its channel partners to increase retail sell-through of moissanite jewelry to consumers. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 approximated $9.2 million, which represented an increase of 54% when compared with approximately $6.0 million in sales during the corresponding period of the previous year. The improvement in year-to-date sales through September 30, 2010 was primarily due to management’s execution of its strategy to revitalize existing customer relationships, along with the addition of several new domestic and international customers during the period.
The Company recorded net income during the quarter of $511,952, or $0.03 per diluted share, representing an approximate $1.1 million improvement relative to a net loss “as adjusted” of ($569,367), or ($0.03) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income totaled $1,146,652, or $0.06 per diluted share, representing an approximate $4.2 million improvement relative to a net loss “as adjusted” of ($3,092,877), or ($0.17) per diluted share, in the same period of 2009.
“We are very pleased to report higher sales and our third consecutive quarter of profitability, which clearly illustrates the progress the Company’s new management team has made over the past twelve months,” noted Randy N. McCullough, Chief Executive Officer of Charles & Colvard, Ltd. “The most recent quarter was particularly notable for improved customer sell-through at the retail level, in response to consumer-driven pricing and other sales programs that were implemented in collaboration with our existing channel partners. Looking forward, our strategy calls for greater emphasis on identifying additional channel partners that can take us into new domestic and international markets, and a number of initiatives are underway in this regard.
“Over the past three quarters, we have returned to profitability, achieved an impressive sales turnaround, restored positive cash flow from operations, resolved legacy issues that had damaged customer loyalty, and greatly strengthened our channel partner relationships. Store-level training programs have been developed, enterprise-level IT systems installed, and operational controls implemented, thereby providing critical tools that can support new sales initiatives, more efficient production, and improved profitability as we expand our channels of distribution.
“We now believe that our management team, with over 100 years of combined jewelry experience, is well-positioned to focus on expanding the business,” continued McCullough. “An arsenal of marketing materials is now available or is currently under development to support future growth, including counter displays, catalogs, postcards, brochures, certification cards, warranties, backlit signage, banners, and television commercial spots. In addition, a team has been tasked with improving our Internet presence and social networking capabilities, pursuant to which a series of projects will be completed and deployed early in 2011 that we believe will increase sales and market awareness of moissanite. During my 39 years in the jewelry industry, I have never been as excited as I am today regarding our progress and the opportunities we have identified at Charles & Colvard, and I am confident in our ability to significantly enhance shareholder value in coming years.”
Contributing to net income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a reduction in operating expenses of $139,648, or 8%, and $1.4 million, or 22%, respectively, when compared with the same periods in 2009, due primarily to ongoing cost control initiatives that commenced in the latter part of 2009.
Prior-year results are shown “as adjusted” due to a change in the Company’s method of accounting for inventories from the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method to the average cost method, which was adopted January 1, 2010. As a result, cost of goods sold increased in the third quarter of 2009 by $67,909 and net income decreased by the same amount. In addition, inventory decreased $2.2 million as of September 30, 2009 due to the cumulative change in accounting principle.
Financial Position
The Company’s cash and liquid long-term investments totaled $8.3 million, and there was no long-term debt outstanding, at the end of the most recent quarter. Cash generated from operations was $220,606 and $851,442 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. During the third quarter of 2010, net income of $511,952 and a net decrease in inventory of $472,010 were the primary drivers of positive cash flow and more than offset an increase in net trade accounts receivable of $634,910 and a decrease in trade accounts payable of $157,892. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income of $1,146,652, a net decrease in inventory of $1,458,504, and an increase in accrued cooperative advertising of $373,000 were the primary drivers of positive cash flow, more than offsetting a net increase in trade accounts receivable of $2,179,285.
Total inventory, including long-term and consignment inventory, approximated $37.7 million as of September 30, 2010, which was down from approximately $39.1 million at the end of 2009 primarily as a result of sales, offset in part by purchases of silicon carbide and jewelry castings, findings, and other jewelry components. Trade accounts receivable approximated $3.2 million at the end of the most recent quarter, up from approximately $1.0 million at the end of 2009, primarily due to increased sales during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry has recently announced its high-profile partnership with The Recording Academy — known for the world-renowned GRAMMY Awards — and is now launching a special edition GRAMMY watch and jewelry collection, a unique fusion of fashion and music, designed by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini.
The cutting-edge look of the pieces draws its inspiration from the passion that music evokes. Gucci’s first-ever digital timepiece, the I – GUCCI, is an eye-catching option for fans of cosmopolitan watches. It offers the ultimate in versatility. With a flick, the broad watch face changes from a two-time zone dial in large digits to a streamlined version that features two discreet digital hands revealing local time.
Its large, double-layout digital display features a special tag celebrating the GRAMMY partnership. The yellow PVD stainless-steel case is complemented by a wide, black or white rubber strap that sports both the GRAMMY and Gucci logos. Again emphasizing the partnership, the case back features the GRAMMY Awards special edition label. Precious versions of the I – GUCCI are also available with sparkling diamonds outlining the watch face giving an added touch of glamour.
The special GRAMMY edition collection also includes sterling silver jewelry interpreting the iconic Gucci dog tag necklace in four variations, with black or white enamel finishing also available with diamonds. The famous gramophone — the symbol of the GRAMMYs since its inception — is etched on the dog tag on a yellow 18kt gold globe. A subtly engraved Gucci logo completes the overall design. This exclusive collection will appeal to music lovers wishing to distinguish their fashion and style credentials.

Zimbabwe is supposedly enjoying political stability under the coalition government formed in 2008. However, Unreported World finds a country still gripped by terror and violence.

Reporter Ramita Navai and director Alex Nott film undercover to investigate claims that gems from one of the world’s biggest diamond fields are being used by Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party to entrench their hold on power by buying the military’s loyalty. This is against a backdrop of human rights abuses, which victims say are being perpetrated by the military and the police.

Filming covertly and secretly, the team discover a climate of fear reminiscent of the pre-coalition Mugabe years. Almost everyone Navai and Nott meet is too terrified to talk about the diamond fields, including several members of the MDC party, which forms part of the coalition government. Some people do speak out, at great personal risk, detailing stories of beatings, killings and rape connected to the diamond area.

A military insider tells Unreported World how different Zimbabwean army units are allowed to rotate through the fields to make profits from the diamonds in exchange for loyalty to President Mugabe’s party. The serving officer claims syndicates of civilians are used by soldiers to mine illegally and they then sell the gems to middlemen.

The team follows the diamond trail, showing how smugglers move precious stones from the Marange fields across the border to the boomtown of Manica in Mozambique. Filming secretly, they show how buyers purchase the stones, no questions asked. It’s impossible to track the diamonds after this: from here they are absorbed into the international market and sold in high street stores across the world.

A UN-backed industry watchdog has been tasked with ending the sale of conflict diamonds. Called the Kimberley Process, it exists to ensure diamonds are not used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments. However, this narrow definition does not encompass the widespread reports of looting and human rights abuses connected to Marange. There have been claims it has failed to deal with the unfolding crisis.

On 1 November 2010, the member nations meet at an annual summit in Tel Aviv to decide what to do next. At the time of filming, many feared the situation in Zimbabwe could precipitate the end of the Kimberley Process, as internal politics and in-fighting about how it should proceed tear the watchdog apart.

The vast natural resources found in Marange could potentially change the fortunes of a country whose economy is in dire straits, and where poverty, hunger and disease are rampant. But Unreported World shows that despite the coalition government, Zimbabwe is a country still plagued by corruption and violence, presenting a serious warning of what is to come ahead of the 2011 elections.

San Francisco, CA: For over 115-years the Wellendorff name has embodied the highest sophistication of the goldsmith’s art among the European and Asian nobles and connoisseurs of fine jewelry. The internationally renowned jeweler will open the first Wellendorff Boutique in North America at Shreve & Co. in San Francisco, CA on October 29, 2010.

From the beautifully colored turning rings to the soft, supple and silky golden rope bracelets and necklaces, every Wellendorff creation is crafted entirely by the hands of the master goldsmiths of Pforzheim, Germany. “Gifts of fine jewelry are generally selected for their design and the caliber of craftsmanship in the piece,” said Christoph Wellendorff, managing partner of Wellendorff and master goldsmith. “Our family motto is Wahre Werte, which translates to genuine values. The value and intrinsic beauty of our jewelry is more than just the design and the quality of craftsmanship. It’s the feeling you get when you wear it. You can literally recognize a Wellendorff piece – with its silk-like smoothness, suppleness, warmth and weight – with your eyes closed. But the most compelling reason for choosing a piece of Wellendorff jewelry is the desire to make the person you love feel special, which they will every time they wear it.” Every piece of Wellendorff jewelry is signed with a Diamond W.
For the past decade, Wellendorff has been represented in this country by an elite group of fine jewelers, including Shreve & Co., which was one of the first important American retailer jewelers to recognize the distinctive values inherent in Wellendorff jewelry. “Shreve has always placed great emphasis on the importance of fine craftsmaship and the quality of materials used in the collections we select for our galleries,” said Lane Schiffman, co-owner of Shreve & Co. “Wellendorff embodies our ideals, offering jewelry unlike any other in the world market.”

The Wellendorff Boutique at Shreve & Co., is a separate boutique within the Shreve Post Street store, with its own jewelry viewing areas and coffee bar. New cases and furnishings have been shipped from Germany to provide a sophisticated, European ambiance, and the perfect setting for the Wellendorff collections. “Shreve & Co. built its reputation as one of the leading luxury jewelers in the country by continually refining its collections to showcase only the finest examples of the goldsmith’s art,” said Glen Ross, president of Shreve. “The Wellendorff Boutique at Shreve is exclusive: the only place in North America where a conoisseur of fine gold jewelry can view the Wellendorff collection in its entirety. It’s a fabulous addition to our galleries.”

“We could have chosen a larger city as the site of our first boutique,” said Wellendorff, “but to us, San Francisco is the right place to be. The city has a spirit of innovation and sophistication. I love the San Francisco passion for the arts – the opera and ballet, and the finer things in life such as fine wine and cuisine. Over the years, our relationship with Shreve & Co. has developed into a genuine friendship. Shreve has been part of San Francisco since 1852, and shares many of our values.”

“Wellendorff is one of the top ten luxury brands in Germany,” continued Richard Horne, chairman of Shreve & Co. “there’s nothing else like it in the world, and we’re thrilled to be a partner in this venture. Christoph has been ingenious in the way he’s introduced Wellendorff in the U.S. – hosting intimate dinners featuring dramatic presentations of his latest collections. I don’t know of anyone else in our industry who focuses on the customer experience by building personal relationships with all of his collectors.”

Wellendorff was founded in 1893 by Ernst Alexander Wellendorff in Pforzheim, Germany, a small village on the edge of the Black Forest that’s affectionately known as the Golden City. Today, the firm is guided by the fourth generation of the Wellendorff family. Each successive generation of the Wellendorff family has been devoted to Wahre Werte; innovation in the pursuit of perfection­ and the desire to create jewelry with genuine true and lasting values, the embodiment of beauty, truth and love. Because each piece is entirely handcrafted, the master goldsmiths of Wellendorff complete only 30 pieces per day in their Pforzheim workshop. Wellendorff has boutiques in Berlin, Germany and Hong Kong, China (opening in November 2010), and is represented by an elite group of fine jewelers across the United States and Canada.

Metalex Ventures Ltd. (TSXV : MTX) (“Metalex”) is pleased to report macro diamond results from the first fourteen holes from the T1 bulk sample on the Metalex – Arctic Star Diamond Corp (TSXV : ADD) joint venture in the James Bay lowlands, Ontario.
Initial processing of samples from the first fourteen of twenty reverse circulation drill holes at the three hectare T1 kimberlite is now complete. To date 8,523 commercial sized (larger than 0.425mm) diamonds have been recovered from 289 tons of kimberlite from these fourteen holes.
Because at depth the kimberlite in the T1 pipe is hard and dense the drill samples at deep levels produce unusually large DMS concentrates. Consequently our consulting mineral process engineer Mike Rylatt indicates coarse fragments of this DMS concentrate could contain diamonds that were not liberated during the initial processing regime and has recommended that the coarse (+2mm) DMS concentrate be re-crushed to improve diamond liberation. Mike Rylatt has also recommended obtaining an additional grease table to improve diamond recovery and this has recently been ordered. This recrush regime has been completed for holes K06-11, K06-13, K06-14, PCR-15, PCR-19 and PT1-22. 4,618 diamonds totaling 30.12 carats have to date been recovered from 147 tons of kimberlite from these six holes.
The number of diamonds currently reported for the remaining holes are the minimum number of diamonds contained as it is likely that additional diamonds will be recovered from reprocessing.
%) are white; 117 (1.4%) are green; 5 (0.06%) are blue; 4 (0.05%) are pink; 2,435 (28.6%) are grey and 2,926 (34.3%) are brown and 6 yellow diamonds (0.07%) were recovered.
All twenty holes from T1 have been processed through the dense media separator at the Stornoway Diamond Corp. laboratory in NorthVancouver, B.C. Diamond recovery from six of these holes is currently underway at both the Stornoway facility and CF Mineral Research Ltd laboratory in Kelowna, B.C. These results, as well as size and colour distribution data will be released as soon as received. Upon completion of the entire T1 bulk sample the diamonds are to be valued in Canada and Antwerp.
The bulk sample from the U2 kimberlite commenced processing today at the Stornoway laboratory. The 9.3 hectare U2 kimberlite is the second largest kimberlite in the James Bay Lowlands after DeBeers’ Victor Diamond Mine. Beyond being a large pipe U2 has many similar characteristics to the Victor Mine. As both pipes are younger than the limestone bedrock they come to surface; U2 is covered only by a thin layer of glacial till and a variable layer of crater infill (mixed kimberlite and country rock that fell back into the pipe immediately after it exploded to the surface) which is between 15 and 50 meters thick. U2 appears to have a similar diamond population to Victor with 72% of diamonds recovered from core drilling being white and a further 6% being coloured (Victor is reported to have 80% white diamonds). In addition the size distribution curve of diamonds recovered from U2 core is very flat, indicating that a significant proportion of the diamonds contained within U2 should be large.
The U2 bulk sample comprises 11 holes containing approximately 390 tons of kimberlite and 70 tons of crater infill. Results from U2 will be released on a hole by hole basis when available.
Metalex is pleased with the numbers, colours and size distribution of the diamonds characterized to date from the T1 kimberlite. The 35.6% white commercial sized diamonds so far recovered is encouraging as most commercial diamond mines worldwide (other than the Victor Mine in Ontario) have substantially less than 30% white, gem quality diamonds. The 1.4% green, 0.06% blue, 0.05% pink and 0.07% yellow diamonds recovered to date is particularly encouraging.

Walt Disney Signature, Disney’s first upscale, adult lifestyle brand, today announced a magical and sophisticated collection of accessories from a trio of leading designers, all inspired by the cinematic beauty of the classic film Fantasia. In celebration of the upcoming release of Fantasia & Fantasia 2000: 2-Movie Collection Special Edition on Blu-ray and DVD on November 30, 2010, the new Fantasia accessories collection from Walt Disney Signature offers artful statement pieces from high-end designers including Hayden-Harnett, nOir and Robin Rotenier.

“The film’s powerful iconic images from the whimsical to the mysterious make it a great bounty for designers and inspired them to create these timeless yet modern pieces that offer something for the Fantasia collector as well as the fashionista looking for on-trend designs,” said Pam Lifford, executive vice president, global fashion and home, Disney Consumer Products. “These accessories embody the spirit of Fantasia and bring it to life in new ways. Disney’s collaboration with these top designers continues to expand our brand further into the fashion sphere.”

Since its debut in 1940, the cinematic achievement of Fantasia has provided generations around the world with a lifetime of memories. A color and animation breakthrough, the film is much like today’s music videos with short fantasy scenarios visually-loaded with colors and patterns scored symphonically to music, providing designers with a treasure trove of resources to draw from.

The Walt Disney Signature Fantasia accessories collection includes:

Hayden-Harnett
Fine accessories designer Hayden-Harnett’s Fantasia collection seeks to convey a spirit of magic, nature as mankind’s muse, and creative fantasy.

The richly artisanal collection consists of sand-washed silk scarves depicting scenes from the following Fantasia sequences: “Rite of Spring,” “Ave Maria” and “Night on Bald Mountain.” Dramatic studded leather cuffs, handbags and wallets feature embossing patterns inspired by the ancient magical leather tomes and soaring gothic architecture found in the film’s “Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria” sequences. Antique brass closures add an ancient and handcrafted touch.

The Hayden-Harnett and Walt Disney Signature Fantasia collection will debut in the designer’s Brooklyn and Nolita stores, on haydenharnett.com, and with select retailers in December.

nOir
Known for its fresh take on style that integrates glamour with an edgy street influence, nOir jewelry will create its customized limited edition “Capsule Collection” inspired by Fantasia. The line’s magical, dreamlike luxury costume baubles will encompass the epic elements of the film such as an oversized, dinosaur “bones” cuff inspired by the “Rite of Spring” scenes. Other pieces include a pave encrusted Pegasus ring in black and white cubic zirconia and eye-catching fiber optics jewelry accented with Swarovski crystals that actually lights up.

For nOir jewelry designer Leeora Catalan, Fantasia is a treasured childhood memory that has stayed with her throughout the years — she has continued to celebrate the magic of the film alongside her three children who often request to watch it.

“Fantasia transcends time. It stirs all your senses and surprises over and over. The film’s incredible combination of creativity, symphony, and whimsy were both captivating and inspiring,” said Leeora Catalan, nOir jewelry designer. “This collaboration with Disney allowed me to curate fashion statements that embody the magic and mystery of the film.”

Staying true to the nOir aesthetic, the pieces will all be entirely unique, large in scale, opulent in design, and thought-provoking, while having a higher concentration of luminous, sparkly, and whimsical elements. nOir’s cutting edge designs have captivated the world’s most influential celebrities, including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Fergie, Sarah Jessica Parker and Madonna.

The collection will be available in November 2010 at high-end retailers nationwide, as well as at www.noirjewelry.com. Prices will range from $250- $1000 retail.

Robin Rotenier
Award-winning, Paris-born jewelry designer Robin Rotenier has created a unique collection of sterling silver Fantasia-inspired cufflink and jewelry designs. Fueled by his passion for fine craftsmanship and original design, Robin Rotenier hand-carves his models, and each piece is finished by hand, distinguishing it from machine-made items.

A set of three sterling silver and vermeil cufflinks depicts the classic Fantasia scene in which the Broom and Buckets come to life, another design is inspired from the Desert Dunes, and the last is a dramatic Bright Shining Sun seen in the opening of the movie.

The men’s collection will be sold in September at Bergdorf Goodman, a NYC exclusive, before a men’s and women’s national launch in October.

The Los Angeles Lakers are commemorating their 16th NBA Championship with a ring that has a few touches that have never before been seen in a sports ring.

Each and every ring is adorned with a piece of the actual ball used in game seven of the 2010 NBA Finals.

The two Larry O’Brien trophies representing the back to back titles are made from a custom batch of 16kt gold.

16 oversized round brillant white diamonds indicate the 16 championships the franchise has won.

Each player is immortalized with a three dimensional sculpture of their face on their respective rings.

The final score of the Lakers 83-79 game seven victory over the Boston Celtics is represented on the side of the ring in scoreboard fashion.
