    Dear Jeffrey, continue to say what you think. Hey, speech is free -
    isn't it? Your original post stimulated a lot of interesting
    information and we're all richer for it. (there sure are a lot of
    people out there who know a lot about the history of cire perdu or
    lost wax casting) 

    But what you said in essence still holds true. Sure, there are a lot
    more really good jewellers out there but there is a lot more people
    too. The statistical averages may still support your original
    observation, that there are fewer professionally trained jewellers
    who are truly committed to individually designed and hand-crafted
    pieces than there were, say, 50 years ago, before the commercially
    driven reliance on modern casting technology. 

    That's "progress" for you.
