    Now I see. We had a referral of a lady who wanted an anniversary ring
    made for her grandmother. It was to be seven diamonds - her diamonds,
    and we settled on a shared prong in white gold. She had been quoted,
    in a retail store here in SF, $1500 for this. Keep in mind that this
    is with her diamonds, just the ring. I told her, quite truthfull,
    that I could sell her the ring WITH diamonds for less than that. I am
    loyal to retailers I do business with, buy I AIN'T gonna protect that
    kind of retailer. I bought a CNC wax for $85, we're talking $30 in
    gold, you figure it out....... Needless to say, I have a customer for
    life, and the retailer will never see her or any of her friends
    again..
