En passant, GEM à surveiller dans la/les semaines à suivre. Communiqué pouvant pousser le cours aux alentours de 1$... techstocks.com American Gem Corporation - American Gem launches on-line gemstone retail and auction house American Gem Corporation GEM Shares issued 122,451,865 1999-07-26 close $0.58 Tuesday Jul 27 1999 Mr. Nadir Desai reports American Gem has one of the world's largest inventories of gemstones -- spectacular cut sapphires from the company's Gem Mountain site in Montana. These stones have drawn an exceptional response from jewellers and connoisseurs around the world. Now, buyers will be able to examine them and purchase them on-line at a secure Web site. Customers will be able to buy sapphires in traditional sale or by auction. American Gem's sapphire Web site offers a 100-per-cent guarantee of satisfaction and shipping within two days of purchase. Shoppers can choose from high-quality sapphires in a wide range of colours, from the traditional blue through exceptional green, orange, pink and purple. The subtle, durable brilliance of Gem Mountain sapphires is unrivalled. The site features finished jewellery as well as gemstones, and offers more than 2,000 items to choose from, selected from a substantial inventory. Prices range from $5 for small, simple stones to more than $10,000 for items in the Signature Collection of matched and mounted sapphires. Nadir Desai, chairman and chief executive oficer of American Gem, commented: "This is a double breakthrough. The Web site will offer extraordinarily beautiful gemstones to the jewellery industry and to individuals at a very low cost. But there's another critically important aspect. We will be able to use the advanced technology developed for the sapphire Web site as the electronic base for our other on-line operations. Those e-commerce sites will be up and running by the end of the year." Wes Roitman, chief operating officer of American Gem, added: "We've designed the site to make transactions as pleasant and straightforward as possible. More and more, consumers are gaining confidence in the Internet as a place to do business, and our own e-commerce technology will reinforce that, helping people to choose and buy exactly what they want in complete security." After a careful survey of the relevant software on the market, American Gem chose Microsoft's NT Server with Internet Information Server 4.0 to act as a foundation for its own e-commerce system. "The growth of on-line shopping is poised to explode in Canada and it is exciting and unique sites like americansapphire.com that will drive that growth," said David Daniels, platform sales manager, Microsoft Canada. "We are very pleased to see Canadian companies like American Gem take advantage of the tremendous opportunities in e-commerce and recognize the benefits of basing their solution on Microsoft's NT Server and Internet Information Server 4.0 platform." American Gem's sapphire Web site has been open to the public for several days. Initial customer reaction has been positive.
