    peter, yes it is the economical way to buy finished jewelry with or
    without stones -  at tucson most dealers sell findings and finished
    pieces by the gram, you will find the gram price with stones is not
    that much more than without. quantity is what determines the price
    so ask up front about the quantities for discount prices (there can
    be more than one break & the prospect of repeat business can cut
    some prices). as far as a 'general' price for asian silver pieces,
    competition is what seems to fuel prices more than demographics.
    when i last shopped thai silver was running a bit more than other
    asian finished silver, in my opinion thai workmanship is better. 

    all this information is based on closely observing my partner's
    transactions with chinese and subcontinent dealers for years - first
    as a hobby & lately more seriously. (the transactions, not my
    observations) 

    ive who knows that "life is a journey, not a destination"... and love
    is the best road map.
