Hi Gerry,

>     Same thing over here in Toronto. There is one jewellery company
>     asked if I would like to do do some setting for them. I declined,

    So I've just got to ask. Where did they go to get stones set a.40
    cents Canadian or.38 cents US? What companies is charging this and is
    still in business on this side of the ocean? Is there a setter that
    reads orchid charging .40 cents per stone and laughing all the way to
    bank. Hmmmmmmmmmm I don't think so. So where did this cheese go?
