It’s called PinkCoin.

The world’s first diamond-backed cryptocurrency, PinkCoin, will go on sale beginning Jan. 18, according to Rapaport. PinkCoin, the report adds, is backed by colored diamonds, which the founders of the cryptocurrency claim have not lost value since tracking began in 1959 and have been independently certified and appraised. The initial public sale of PinkCoins will be based on an “asset pool” of colored diamonds worth $5 million. Once sold, PinkCoins will be able to be traded for Bitcoins or even individual gems from the asset pool.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
