    Dear Stacy, I have been working with a company based in Chandler AZ,
    South of Phoenix, called Lapis Ent. This is run by Ron Johnson who
    has brought superior metalsmiths from Taxco, Mexico and has set them
    and in many cases their families up in Nogales Sonora about 2 miles
    from the Mexico US border. This is no sweat shop, I have been there
    on many occasions to teach and observe their work and Ron is
    respected as a generous boss. These are fantastic craftsmen who Ron
    brought North because he saw a need for custom production in
    fabrication and casting which could be afforded by smaller companies
    like my own. The craftsmen and families come North because he pays
    very well and has job security for them. 

    Design security is a big deal to me and having them 60 miles from me
    is very important because I can go there often unlike sending
    production overseas. They have made me hundreds of pieces and their
    quality is very much to my standards. Phone; 480-699-0179 Fax;
    480-699-0831 ron AT lapisopal.com
