    Thank you for all of your definitions of a Master jeweler. I've heard
    the phrase "Jack of all trades and master of none" and I certainly
    don't want to be considered one of those... So, my instructor - a
    gifted German trained hand engraver - encouraged me to "master" a few
    of the skills in the jewelry industry so that I'd have something to
    fall back on if one of those skills should no longer be in such
    demand, and I took his advice to heart. I have met very few master
    jewelers in my 24 year career regardless of a piece of paper or
    certificate that they may have acquired. If I can be addressed as a
    "Master" of anything by someone else, then I'd be honored but I'd
    never entitle myself to the title on my own. Many of you have
    absoloutely fantastic talent as I look at your websites and I'd be
    thrilled to be tutored/taught by any of you. We are all here to keep
    learning and growing no matter how much we know. This group is a
    wealth of education ! Humbly, Margie
