    One of our well-known large Florida shows had lots of  complaints one
    year from most of the jewelry artists. Seems someone was selling
    component jewelry as their own. Also, others were selling Mexican
    made silver objects and undercutting the other jewelers' prices. This
    is a high quality show that expects the work to be original and
    produced by the artists. This show made the decision to always
    include a jeweler in the pre-jurying process - selecting the 
    artists to be included in the  show. 

    This seems to happen in the majority of shows. This is what many
    complain about.
