    I knew of two fantastic jewellers here in Toronto, before they left
    for their homeland of Italy. 

    ....I saw a Half-million dollar pendant, ring, brooch, necklace
    combination ...all of these parts could be made to hold a singular
    Marquise or the surrounding cluster of stones...it came with a wooden
    showcase...a book of instructions on how to assemble each of its many
    intricate parts. Now these two fellows father and son, were masters
    in their own field of creativity.....:>) Masters?...hardly, Saints and
    Angels, more like it at their work !!!! 

    I, on many an occasion saw the father Gioncarlo Durante and son
    George, melt a bar of gold and hammer it out on a ring mandrel and
    make this mass of gold into a thick wedding band...! Masters? what
    say you?...they left this country out of pity, for they could not put
    their crafts to work, imagine these two fellows doing simple
    repairs??...to them, it seemed an insult....gerry!
