As jizeal said, in addition to the pics they stole from him which they photoshoped, they ALSO photoshop their own damn shop to mislead people that they are this big company. Just look at it vs google maps!

This thread intrigues me, so I checked into this. The photo does look photoshopped (the high-rise building in the background has been there for years prior to the google streetview photo and cannot be seen from the vantage point of the photographer on Google Streetview, which calls into question the facade as well). However, the photoshopping was done by the building's owner or leasing agent in an effort to market the building as the "International Jewelry Center" to prospective tenants, and was not the dealer in question. From what I've been able to find online, the owner of this building has been attempting to lure jewelers from the abutting Seybold Building and has largely failed, despite a high-quality interior renovation with marble, polished wood, etc.
