    Pity that there is no "Certified Jewellery Course" up here in
    Toronto,Canada. The only pre-requisite is if that person can do what
    is asked of him/her, if failing that bye-bye...I have seen some
    "butt-ugly" workmanship around this town. I sometimes wonder how in
    blazes can those tradespersons pass themselves off as  "journeymen". 

    All I can do at my end is to instruct my students to examine each of
    their new creations. If they like what they see, and appreciate
    their quality, then in my eyes it is worthy of being a job well done.
    There is little pride shown at many stages of trade work around here.
    If I stepped on any ones toes, sorry for speaking the truth. But as
    for a "Certified" course, it  would weed out many of the less skilled
    workers in our trade in no time flat....Gerry, diamond setter!
