All, 

    Those of us who depend on jewelry sales had better take heed to
    changes that are inexorably taking place in our industry. So called
    precious stones are being mined out of existence while lab grown
    substitutes are taking their place. I see a two tiered market
    creeping into place. The manmade substitutes are replacing the
    naturals gradually while the naturals creep up in price. Virtually
    all gemstones are now duplicated in the lab. Meanwhile, the many
    decades of mind bashing that have gone into marketing of natural
    gemstones are being eroded by realization that nothing is sacred in
    gemstones. I really don't know where all this is going, but I do
    think that it is time to rethink our commitments....Ron at Mills Gem
