    Dear Suzanne, Yes.......I am glad we asked. Well done ! All of yor
    points are valid in my view, but I think we may all have overlooked
    the fact that there may be no reason at all for referring the entire
    issue to Consumer Reports. They have the staff, the budget and the
    editorial direction that would be capable of doing the job very
    nicely. To this end I am going to refer the matter to them and see
    if they will rise to the bait. I have a hunch that they might,
    especially if they have the participation and cooperation of the
    jewelry industry. As for the lack of branding, I really don't think
    that this should be a deterrent inasmuch as what we are talking
    about essentially is conjuring guidelines as to what constitutes
    durability and quality in any jewelry. The ignorance of the public
    is monumental and countless questions and uncertainties could be
    laid to rest. Ron at Mils Gem, Los Osos, CA.
