    All & Daniel, What a typical reply of someone looking at a new form
    of competition.  I know of two other top jewelers working shows and
    the Internet that are doing the same thing I am.  They have both
    taken the price they would charge a jewelry store for the same
    product (parts + labor) and increased the price by 50%.  Both of
    these jewelers are doing very well.  They make their manufacturing
    charge plus 50%. My records show that whenever I sold a stone to a
    jewelry store they automatically raised the price by at least a
    factor of three which is a 200% markup.  Then they sold other stones
    of  lesser skill and cut at half the price. When I consigned stones
    to them they would increase the price by 3-5 times.  The same thing
    occurs when a designer sells or consigns a piece of jewelry to a
    jewelry store. The price a store tacks onto selling your items makes
    them unsaleable. If you are a small manufacturer of quality products
    you now can take advantage of this great discrepancy in pricing. The
    Internet and shows are the answer.  Establish a presence as soon as
    you can.  Work that presence.  I tie my Internet together with my
    shows, on line auctions, and special pages to select customers.  It
    works.  In the past three months I have names and addresses of 130
    new individuals that have purchased multiple items from me.  I get to
    them at their leisure in their home with a computer.  I build their
    confidence by selling quality products at my prices. I explain to
    them all the hype and misinformation in the jewelry industry.  I tell
    them which stones will retain their value, which ones are wearable in
    jewelry, I control the education of the public. They hear my story
    and not the hype of a marketer.  I go directly into the neighborhoods
    of the best locations in the world.  My sales have been all across
    the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, and Europe.  It is building at
    such a rate that we are considering new options for production and
    new product lines.  Finished jewelry. So if you are an individual
    working at home this is a very open option to you that works. Do not
    let the self interests of others deter you.  You will be successful
    and independent of other outlets for your product. This not a new
    idea.  It is the same business model used by most other suppliers to
    the jewelry industry.  Take a look at any of your suppliers catalogs.
     They sell to anyone at the same price.  You want a discount you must
    buy in volume.  You want to buy from me at wholesale it starts at
    $5,000.00 USD. Payment up front in verifiable funds. Then we will
    talk.
