    WELL! 		

    I must now embarrass myself (some would say further) by admitting I
    'misspoke' myself and meant for the next to last line to say
    something like 'Almost any gem treatment I'm aware of PALES in
    comparison to the issue of rhodium plating not being disclosed.' 		
    Sorry for the confusion. I must try to engage my brain better before
    hitting the 'send' button. 		 

    Of course, even phrases like 'gold filled' and 'Alpaca' I believe are
    confusing to many potential jewelry buyers. I can remember first
    hearing the term gold filled thinking it meant -like- solid gold. Not
    gold 'clad' or 'sandwiched'. There are alot of misleading terms in
    metalsmithing. German Silver, OK gold.  But that rhodium plating
    thing really got me steamed after all the concern over heated
    sapphires, irradiated topazes, etc.
