NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 1999--

A Gift That Will Last Beyond The Next Millennium

Diamondregistry.com, an established seller of wholesale diamonds and leading online merchant of loose diamonds at the lowest prices, offers a unique and romantic gift for the Millennium that combines the two most brilliant masterpieces of nature.

Diamondregistry.com offers consumers the opportunity to personalize their diamond with a special name and message. This DIAMOND DOMAIN(tm) will be recorded for free in an exclusive limited edition entitled Diamonds 2000: The Signature Collection(tm). A certificate authenticating the registration of the DIAMOND DOMAIN(tm) is also included.

"Just like the famous Taylor-Burton diamond, the chosen DIAMOND DOMAIN(tm) creates a treasured momento - a collector's item of one," says Joseph Schlussel, founder and president of the diamondregistry.com.

As a Millennium bonus, diamondregistry.com is giving customers a free personal star through the International Star Registry, which will be noted in a certificate honoring the chosen designation. Included is a manual with maps of the constellations and a chart identifying their personal star.

"The combination of the individually named diamond and star lets someone make a statement about the specialness of their love," Schlussel says. "This is a unique time in human history, and people are going to be thinking about what and who is important to them. And what better way to make a statement to someone you care about than with the two timeless symbols of 'forever' -- diamonds and stars. This lets the true romantic in our customers come shining through."

The DIAMOND DOMAIN(tm) can be laser inscribed on the girdle of a diamond for a small fee.

Diamondregistry.com is owned by The Diamond Registry, a leading wholesale diamond brokerage located in the heart of New York's diamond district since 1961. After diamondregistry.com became popular with consumers, it began retail sales to the public in 1998. All diamondregistry.com diamonds are sold with GIA certificates. Price quotes are free of charge with no obligation.

Joseph Schlussel is a pioneer in computerized diamond trading. For 30 years The Diamond Registry Bulletin has been a respected independent voice in the diamond industry. An internationally recognized diamond expert, Mr. Schlussel has been interviewed by the New York Times, NBC's Today Show, CNN, and Readers Digest.
