    This is a good place to say something I've needed a place for. Bead
    stringers do get a bad rap - I think it's because most people think
    of it as putting beads on string - even a child CAN do that. Of
    course, real stringing is more than that. We have a team heRe:
    goldsmith, setter, engraver, gem dealers, stone pickers, and yes, we
    depend on our stringer when needed. She's an essential part, too. Not
    very "sexy" maybe, but just as valuable an asset.
