    That does bring back memories: a customer once had an Avon pot metal
    ring she just loved. Her husband did not believe in spending his
    money on jewelry. She had me copy the ring in 14k yellow and white
    gold, with diamonds and pearls, and until the day he died her husband
    never knew her ring was the real thing! He almost threw it out when
    she passed away, and for the life of him he could not see why their
    daughter wanted "that old thing" so badly!!
