    Well, goes to show there's more than one way... 

    I will refrain from calling any of your statements "ridiculous". The
    difference here is that I consider myself an artist, who expresses
    that in the form of jewelry. I consider it very personal. The work
    isn't just about precious materials and perfect stones. It is not
    fungible with other jewelry, just better-made. So that isn't what I
    emphasize about it. Those who buy it probably appreciate the
    craftsmanship, but they buy it for the creativity and, dare I say
    it, content. Hence my advice. 

    So, if someone finds it useful, great. If not, well, it didn't even
    use up any paper to write it out, just a few minutes and some
    pixels. I can afford that. 

Noel
