Lee:

    My 30 days comment was in response to another poster who said his
    shop often consigns for just a few days and typically only does
    contracts when an item will be with them for 6 weeks or more. 

    Second, there are many stores I have consigned with that provided
    the displays as they have a whole store full of displays and they
    want them all to match one another. 

    Lastly, maybe some retailers take better care of items when they are
    more expensive...don't really know. But what I do know is that if
    their $10K in merchandise they loaned out to you comes back in poor
    condition - or not all of it comes back - they usually have lawyers
    to help them recover their merchandise. As an artisan jeweler, I
    would prefer not to have a lawyer on retainer. Guess my point is that
    whether the merchandise is $10 or $10,000 it should still be treated
    with the same care. While I do know how my art is best displayed (or
    rather I like to think so) this doesn't automatically mean that a
    gallery is going to abide by my display wishes.
