    Regarding JCK, I always get the invitations and subscribe to their
    magazine - yet I can't attend the show either - because I don't own a
    storefront selling finished jewelry. The irony of the whole thing is
    that if you look at their exhibitors, 50% of them are those selling
    "loose beads", "findings", "loose gemstones", "loose diamonds",
    "clasps", "CAD", "tools," etc. - products that designers purchase. 
    So I guess those that own storefronts can go look at the designer
    jewelry and then pick up all the materials needed on their 
    way out the door to make the same thing, huh?
