    I have been setting up at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show for many
    years.  One year two ladies stopped by and were admiring my pieces
    of pottery.  One lady picked out several pieces that she wanted to
    buy and asked her friend what she thought.  Her friend said she did
    not think they were sterling silver.  No matter how much I affirmed
    that they were sterling silver that had the backgrounds oxidized to
    bring out the detail the lady kept saying they were not sterling. I
    spend about 2 hours with the, "its sterling, no it isn't debate." 
    The ladies finally left without any pieces of my work. The next year
    the lady interested in my work and her husband returned and bought
    several pieces of my miniature sterling silver pottery.  She was
    very apologetic about her friend. They were regular customer for
    several years until the husband passed away. I never expected that I
    would have seen her after the first encounter.
