Greg,

    I went back through my email archives and don't show any from you,
    maybe they got caught in my spam filters. Anyhow asking people who
    are in a certain gallery is one way. Dun & Bradstreet and for
    jewelry stores JBT are both good sources of info, the BBB. Also talk
    to the staff at the store, the buyer and sales staff to get an idea
    if they are knowledgeable and helpful. You may find that it is hard
    to get info from craftspeople about their business relationships with
    galleries and stores this is understandable. It is a smart thing to
    get references (and call them) from a store or gallery before you
    send them work especially if it is for net terms or consignment.
