Craig my dear Orchid friend;

    I deeply sympathize with the North American jewelers who are
    squeezed hard between cheap labor in Asia and the discount chains. It
    was said many times on this forum, the only way you can survive is by
    education and evolutions of your designs and services. 

    Asia is a big continent and your statement is not accurate. Many
    happy workers are producing jewelry in many happy countries. Please
    don't patronize Orchidians whom may be reading this board from
    Asia!

    Go to Clasp in September; get education in new techniques and
    selling tricks. This will be your first stage for surviving.
