Observations

By Amber Michelle
After 23 years, two months and 278 issues, it is time to say thank you as I move on to the next phase of my career. A very big thank you to all of the readers of Rapaport Magazine. I thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read the magazine. Thank you to all of the writers who have written in-depth, compelling copy that takes readers inside the diamond and jewelry industry. Many thanks to the editors and fact-checkers who made sure that we were not only grammatically correct, but accurate as well. To all of the experts who have been interviewed and given generously of their time and knowledge, thank you, we could never have done this without you. Another thank you goes to the Rapaport Magazine New York production crew for always making the magazine look fantastic. A special thank you to all of the designers who loaned their jewelry to grace the pages of Rapaport Magazine, we appreciate how much you trusted us with your treasures. And to all the young designers who told me, “I don’t have diamonds in my jewelry yet,” I say what I have always said, “You will.” With deep appreciation and gratitude, I say thank you to Martin Rapaport for handing me the keys to a magical world filled with wonderful people and fabulous jewels. It has been a dream come true. Going forward it is my most sincere desire that all of you have great love in your lives, beautiful friendships and a sparkling future filled with joy and of course, diamonds.
