    John, I have to agree with you. There comes a point where its wise
    for one to detach his/her ego from the work. Ego says, "perfection or
    failure". Absolute perfection is probably impossible, in human terms
    at least. 

    I've had the oppertunity to examine alot of jewelry made by some of
    the finest houses. Quite often, if you look close enough you will
    find some small irregularity. Admittedly these are so minor that they
    are meaningless. Yet there they are. 

    If jewelry making is a business the end goal should be kept in mind.
    To sell the piece at a quality level consistent with customer
    expectations. Oh, and make a profit. 

    Its like the old Hotrodding adage..."Speed costs money, how fast do
    you wanna go?"
