Goo,

    I, too, went to the site and was less than thrilled with some of the
    objects shown. However, I met Larry Silva last year at the Jeweler's
    Bench Conference and talked with him again at this year's conference.
    I'm quite impressed with this gentleman's work. Not only is the
    quality top notch, but the designs are fresh and interesting. The
    pearl ring that was shown on the website isn't my favorite piece of
    his that I've seen, but that's just my personal taste. He makes some
    beautiful one of a kind jewelry with outstanding quality and design.
    My taste is too conservative to appreciate some of what others call
    art, yet it doesn't make it any less art. So, I too, didn't care for
    some of the items on that site, but there are some jewelers there
    that are every bit a metalsmith as you and I. 

    Have a good day and happy metal working.
