    It is my opinion that you should learn when to say nothing to your
    customers.  They will not thank you for your honesty in fact they
    may just turn out to be your worst nightmare.  I have 35 years of
    experience in dealing with the public as a jeweller and watchmaker. 
    All they want is a piece of jewellery, bite the bullet and make this
    item from your own stock at your own expense and tell them nothing.
    Your problem will be over and they will think you are wonderful. 

    Some of you will not agree with this I know on an honesty and
    ethical basis and when I first started in business I told my
    customers everything all my mistake and errors, some were
    understanding and some wanted to consult their solicitors. 

    Save yourself a lot of worry, in this business you win some and you
    loose some.
