Jessee,

    Not at all. I believe everyone has the right to their own opinions. 

    I enjoy all gemstones and would never consider limiting myself in
    their use. I have made pieces with 3 and 4 carat  Diamonds as well as
    making pieces that had a wonderful piece of Agate that was accented
    with diamonds or colored gems such as Tsavorite Garnets 

    I do find it hard to believe that in a group of people that make a
    living from jewelry or even enjoy it as a hobby there is not a
    higher appreciation for all the wonderful things nature has provided
    us to work with. 

    My only wish for this group is that everyone stop bashing any part of
    what we do. We are in a noble profession that dates back to early
    civilizations. In order for the public to appreciate what we do
    requires us to appreciate what we do and the precious items we work
    with.
