Hi Janet,

    If we cast it, it was 3.5%. You may or may not remember that we
    tried to discontinue the platinum silver at one time. This was due,
    in part, to its tendency to be brittle for some applications. We
    were compelled to reverse our decision when many of our designers
    expressed their unhappiness with our decision, wanting instead to
    just deal with the limitations. That being said, I would never sell
    anything that I was unwilling to stand behind. If you want to return
    that bangle for metal credit you may. 

    On the news front, we have found a more consistent source for the
    3.5% grain a few months back and now offer the 1% as well. Also, we
    have invented a method for making waxes with the same resolution as
    the Hi Def material. The results are unbelievable! I can't wait to
    show it to you. I should be visiting the SF office later this month
    or early Feb. If you want you can reach me on my cell as I am out of
    the office today. I'll send that in a separate e-mail. Hope all is
    well.
