    My answer is yes! I would even wear some of these items before
    death. If I had the disposable income and didn't want to make it, I
    would pay the going price. My requirements are interesting, unusual
    (though wearable) and well crafted. I was thrilled when I saw the
    article, because it helps to separate the "value" of the piece from
    the materials it is made from. All of these pieces help the viewer
    see an everyday material in a new way- in my mind way better than
    the thousand(s) dollar diamond ring that looks like most of the
    other ones out there and is ONLY expensive because of the diamond
    (i.e. not much craft, no real interest but for the rock).
