    A jeweler my Mom used to go to likes to tell this story. My Mom lost
    her diamond and went to him for a replacement. He brings out his
    1-carat diamonds for her to choose from. She said her diamond was
    much nicer than any of those but chose one from the selection. A
    year or so goes by and as my Mom got out of her car in her driveway,
    she sees a sparkle in the blacktop - it was her lost diamond -
    undamaged! She takes it sheepishly to her jeweler to have it
    remounted, and here's the part the jeweler tells with glee, it was
    actually a bit smaller and not as brilliant as the replacement. I'm
    sure quite a few of you have had customers like that.
