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.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
