    I too have experienced the drive of discounters and importers of
    inferior jewellery products which undermine the  value of true
    craftsmanship. I have worked for both supermarket jewellers and high
    end producers but their bottom line is always the dollar cost to
    them which can eat into their huge profits if any real care and time
    is taken to produce a quality product. I myself have taken the bull
    by the horns and located my own business deep in the suburbs, out of
    the way it may seem but I think true craftsmanship, fair price and
    tailoring a design to your customers needs are all important for
    true client satisfaction. Some jobs I lose on through time spent and
    some I win but client satisfaction is paramount to your business and
    recommendation is far better than any advertising program. That is
    just my opinion of course. I may not get rich but I am happy with my
    craft and work and continue to strive for improvement in as many
    aspects of my trade as I have time for. Terence M Dillon Chivali
