    Wow! I'm even more delighted that I don't have to work as a jeweller
    in America after reading the comment about the "top judge saying,
    'whenever i (sic) see a piece with a commercial clasp on it i (sic)
    just pass over it..." 

    What a poseur! Forget design, forget originality, forget the
    handcrafting that lies above that insignificant little commercial
    catch or clasp... see only that and nothing else! And this is a "top
    judge"? 

In amazement,
