[Jewelry making - Article 00940] - [Orchid] Thickness and Weight = Value?

    How many of you think that the gauge thickness and weight of a piece
    contribute significantly to it's value and retail price? I guess I
    would say thickness and weight versus the detail, craftmanship and
    precious metal it's made from... 

    I'm working on some pieces now that I've fabricated from 16 gauge
    silver sheet and they feel rather light to me. I'm contemplating
    soldering an extra sheet onto them.
