Thank you David.

    What you are doing is no different than Faberge or Lalique (Daniel
    Spire's post). I admire your wisdom in knowing what you do best. Far
    too many of us try to "do it all" and end up turning out less than
    the best we could do. Too many "great" designs are weakened by crappy
    hand work. Yes, I understand the economics that underline this
    thinking too. Far better not to do a piece than do it poorly. 

    I have often wondered if Faberge ever polished a single stone for
    any of his pieces? 

    In my mind, it is the quality of the final product that counts.
    Especially if I am the designer! 

You are definitely OK in my book.
