    The attitude you describe seems to me to be the necessary approach
    for what one might describe as "personal jewelers" such as myself,
    though it probably won't work for a general, mall-type store. In any
    case, this is the approach that I am comfortable with. After all,
    the greatest single difference between buying from me and buying
    from overseas makers (leaving the whole art question aside) is that
    I am here and can offer a service relationship. 

    I wonder, though-- when you say you "maintain" jewelry at no
    charge-- does that include sizings for, say, weight gain and loss?
    There could be significant costs to enlarging some rings. If yes,
    would you also re-size an inherited piece? I haven't been asked yet,
    but I'm thinking ahead.
