    I spent 30 minutes looking at the 1000 rings book last week with a
    friend, also a goldsmith and jewelry designer. We both found it very
    engaging. We had an insightful discussion of which pieces we liked
    and why and how they affected us. 30 minutes was only enough time to
    see a very small slice of the whole pie. 

    I saw beautiful work which was very effective from a design
    standpoint, work which was skillfully executed, work which was
    imaginative, creative, playful, insightful, work which was well made,
    work which was thought provoking. I also saw some work which didn't
    resonate with my preferences but that is just a personal issue,
    easily resolved by the turn of a page. 

    There is truly something for everyone here, or should be. If anyone
    looks through it and can't find anything which excites or stimulates
    or provokes them then I would have to wonder "why not?" 

    It is all a matter of perspective; some folks choose to see what
    they like, some folks choose to see what they dislike. Personally I
    feel the former is more productive.
