    Kevin - I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.  Without
    going into any more specifics, I do think that how products are
    marketed today and the prices they are selling for is something that
    every business owner (including jewelry designers) needs to keep up
    on - it's the competition. And yes, no matter how hard it is to
    believe, even Wal-Mart is the competition.  I sold fashion jewelry
    for 2 years before dropping it and moving on to a more higher-end
    line.  Believe me - those buyers want Wal-Mart prices.  It keeps us
    on our toes and forces us to always come up with new and inventive
    ideas and designs - and stay one step ahead - without going broke. 
    So I think that the market and how products are marketed is something
    very important to keep up on. 

Catherine
