The company says that upcoming features from Avalon Solution include promotional e-mail marketing, e-commerce capabilities, a loose-diamond database, ability to upload one's own products, and integration of advertising and marketing materials into one's Web site.
"Having a good Web site is an essential tool for any brick-and-mortar jewelry store to help you showcase your merchandise, attract new business and develop a strong, 24/7, long-term relationship with your customers," Rajeev Pandya, Ashi Diamonds and Avalon Solution partner, said in a media release. "We developed Avalon to help jewelers take their brands and their businesses online. Through Ashi's 25 years of experience and success, we have what it takes to help jewelers be successful online."

Jewelry-site traffic strong in May
The jewelry, luxury goods and accessories e-commerce category was one of the strongest gainers in visitors in May, according to comScore's monthly analysis of U.S. consumer activity at the top online properties.
The category was up 9 percent in traffic last month to 17.5 million visitors, compared with April.
Other categories showing visitor increases in May included flowers, gifts and greetings (up 15 percent to 42.4 million visitors), coupons (up 11 percent to 24.5 million visitors) and travel-information (up 9 percent to 47.2 million visitors).
The e-cards category also saw traffic increase, up 8 percent in May to more than 35 million visitors.
"Mother's Day was a key driver of Web activity in May, as the convenience of online shopping for flowers and gifts drew many to retail sites," comScore Media Metrix Executive Vice President Jack Flanagan said in a media release. "Summer travel was also on Americans' minds this month as warmer weather and the end of the school year spurred vacation planning. With Americans feeling the pocket pinch of soaring gas prices, rising food costs and an unsteady market, scouring the Internet for hot travel deals was essential for many to ensure an affordable summer vacation."

Jewelry Channel revamps Web site
Television jewelry retailer The Jewelry Channel has announced the launch of a major redesign of its Web site, Tjc.tv.
The site now offers not only online "Web Drop" jewelry auctions but also an array of information and retail options for consumers.
One such offering includes a jewelry store for browsing and purchasing available items at a set sale price, rather than in a drop-auction format. Customers can search and sort items by type of apparel, metal, gemstone, shape, price or name.
The site also boasts interactive and social-media content including user forums and a blog by The Jewelry Channel hosts, as well as a live broadcast of The Jewelry Channel 24 hours a day.
In addition, the site showcases a "Spotlight Item" at a reduced price on its home page, as well as video brochures featuring the high-end Illiana Collection and the new Rhapsody line of platinum jewelry.
"The site enhancement represents not only an improvement in function and usability but also atmosphere and options," The Jewelry Channel President Sri Burugapalli said in a media release. "We sought to provide a complete shopping experience, whether the customer is purchasing via TV broadcast, online retail or an interactive auction."
