    Well Dan, you can't be a qualified jeweller. You can still see the
    humour in it. 

    As far as I am concerned, a jeweller is the one who makes the
    jewells. He or she must have accomplished a lot of skills to be able
    complete pieces on their own. Otherwise the person is a 'wax 
injector'
    or a CNC operator, but not a jeweller. As far as keeping the shop
    running I spend at least half my time doing extra stuff that doesn't
    pay, and except for the fact I do a full week behind the bench I'd
    say I am vearing into something else that isn't just jewellery
    manufacturing.
