    Indeed, Jewelers of Amarica (JA) has set such standards and
    administers a series of tests to judge the skill levels of th e test
    taker.  All the people I've ever seen who attained Master are
    awesome.....just awesome. Now that doesn't mean you have to be JA
    Certfied Master to be awesome, but....those that have the
    designation ARE.
