    Actually, before I offend everyone I should qualify my statement by
    saying I meant overseas cutting houses where the workers are required
    to produce at least 10 stones a day each. Which is the majority of
    them in many cases. 

    My point is however that people think that they are getting a great
    deal if a piece of jewelry costs $50, when in fact they are getting a
    piece of jewelry that is probably worth much less than $50. The
    consumer needs to understand that they aren't getting a great deal,
    they are in most cases buying something cheap that has no resale or
    other value other than the materials used to create it, and even then
    it may just come down to the metal. 

    I didn't mean the post as an offense, more an observation.
