    Thanks for sharing this Norah. It's a fascinating concept. I'm
    thinking of all the possible applications for surface decorations
    etc, on fine jewelry. You can just imagine the possibilities. 

    It's so incredibly wonderful to be in this industry at this time.
    Jewelry has been made virtually the same way for centuries. Even the
    Industrial Revolution, at the turn of the last century made few
    changes. We are living in a time of enormous change. Look at the
    following recent innovations that have changed the jewelry industry:

        CAD/CAM designing and manufacturing (probably the biggest
        change) Laser Welding (or is this the biggest?) Liquid Metal
        (which is not quite ready for the jewelry industry, but this will
        be huge) Rare Earth Magnets (I can get tiny cobalt magnets only
        1/2 mm thick) 

    Computer technology and laser technology have changed our world in
    every respect, the jewelry industry included. Every time a new
    technology is invented, other new technologies are built on the
    shoulders of that, having an exponential effect. Every time
    something new is invented, it eliminates a road block that existed
    previously, and opens up paths that we can't wait to discover. 

    The organizers of the Sante Fe Symposium should look into this and
    consider having Dr. Guo as a presenter. I know I'm not the only one
    who would love to learn more about this new innovation.
