R Bruce Carson Jewelers: 132 functions and data pages related to diamonds, gems and precious metals.
The following calculator and data pages are included in any PBV site with the tag Jewelry. Tag pages contain lists of vCalc items that have that tag, Jewelry in this case, and they provide information associated with the concept. Calculators and collections are bundled functions and data that appear on one page for convenience of the end users. Equations are single function calculator pages. Data items are either static (e.g., constants) or variable (e.g., current pricing) data items useful in equations. Datasets are tables of information. WikiClips are web content snips that are useful for recurring content such as descriptions, lists of functions or images. These can be imbedded in any other token and allow for easy maintenance and distribution of updated information.
