    Most of the Indian work is very poor quality. However, Rahul is
    correct, the past 10 years have proven several countries are
    contenders for dominating the worlds jewelry manufacturing and
    servicing market. Taking the raw material and cost of labor of the
    east and combining it with the technical skill and machinery of the
    west, you have an unbeatable business model (if you can circumvent
    corruption, ha). 

    I'm an exporter of soaps, candles, paper, metal, stones and jewelry
    product from India. When I ask the business owners if they would
    like their same product delivered for 30% of their current cost, the
    overwhelming response is, "Yes." Sorry to digress, but it is a fact
    of life in todays market. Look around your home, and see where most
    of your appliances, tools, toys, furniture are made. 

    Anyhow, have a great week,
