About Jewelry Website Designers
Leading the creative team at Jewelry Website Designers are two top notch experts in their field who merge their talents for the jewelry and gemstone trade with dynamic results.
Marlene Murphy — Web Designer-Developer & Marketing Master
Murphy's rich history in the field of technology harkens to the dawn of the computer age, with the introduction of the first pc in 1981. Prior to corporate reliance upon computer technology, she was thrust into experimenting with her company's 'new computer equipment' and became instrumental in implementing and integrating computer programming for this major automotive corporation. A sharp and intuitive learner, she soon developed computer training programs, and computer applications for myriad departments, thus streamlining procedures based on systems need analysis.
Her decades of know-how also included developing Visual Basics for Applications, SQL, and the Microsoft Suite of Office Products like MSAccess, MSWord, MSExcel, and MSPowerPoint.
Of vital importance to our current endeavor is Murphy's prowess in creating and publishing web pages utilizing HTML, XML, Adobe Dreamweaver & Fireworks, Cold Fusion; Knowledge of VBA developed through practical application during her business career has been invaluable in expanding proficiency in the use of technical website development tools, such as Cold Fusion, VBScript, and Active Server Pages.
What makes her unique as a web developer is her extensive sales and marketing experience coupled with graphic arts training, plus website and application development. For her it's not an either-or experience--she has successfully immersed herself in both fields and now lends her expertise to Jewelry Website Designers.
Diana Jarrett — GG RMV-Gemologist and Journalist to the Jewelry Trade
Arguably the most branded voice in the jewelry trade for over a decade, graduate gemologist (GIA) Jarrett is one of an elite group of writers who actually studies behind the scenes about the gemstones she writes up.
Her writing style ranges from in-depth laboratory analyses in world-class trade journals like the Rapaport Diamond Report, to light hearted consumer targeted jewelry chat such as her tongue-in-cheek e-newsletters for Bangkok based ThaiGem's Bling Thing.
Jarrett covers gem and jewelry trade shows for industry publications where she is often an invited speaker on such subjects as colored stone trends or examining the history of gemstone carving. Jarrett co-authored and massively revised the classic reference guide "Cameos Old & New 4th Edition, by Gemstone Press, originally written by the late gemologist Anna Miller.
Other articles appear in Jewellery Business, Texas Jewelers magazine, New York Mineralogical Club Bulletin, and Colored Stone. She pens a long running column for Southern Jewelry News and Mid-America Jewelry News; The Story Behind the Stone. Her popular blog (Color-n-Ice) is regularly republished by prominent gemstone associations and other internet outlets.
