    The first time I eve got to wear gold jewelry was when I was a model
    in the early 70s and did some work for a gallery owner/jeweler in
    Coconut Grove. Those were the days when gold was cheap, and therefore
    a medium attractive to artists, and sand casting was the method of
    choice. I loved that style, which I haven't seen in years, and am
    very happy to know that someone can afford to "revive" it.

    PS: I know a sculptor who is giving up on *bronze* because the
    process is now so expensive...
