    Ok, so let me get this straight.  Almost all of the major jewelry
    designers of the 50's and 60's and people like Earl Pardon, Wendy
    Ramshaw, and easily half of the AGTA spectrum award winners since the
    design contest was started aren't really creative, talented people
    because they manipulate the metal they work with, use shot in their
    designs, and use purchased cut stones? Come on.
