    i have sometimes gotten those poor people that bring what they think
    is precious jewellery for me to "fix", only to have me tell them
    that, sorry, it's only plastic.  the gems too.  sentimentality can go
    a long way in value, no? 

    which brings to mind the tortoise shell necklace (yes now illegal,
    this one acquired when tortoise-harvesting not banned, many years
    ago) that i got asked to fix.  i should have just sent it along to
    someone more experienced from the get-go....less worry! 

    cheers! erhard.
