    Valerie, I see the large producers of jewelry burning out the market
    with sameness. While the craft movement of the 50's and 60's was a
    backlash to the machine produced, this resurgence is a backlash to
    handmade super production and mass production. 

    My market has completely gone to one of pieces, I had spent 10 years
    developing a line I could have made by a maquiladore producer (all
    handmade) and casting and now my market is reversed to my own work
    with my own hallmark made by me, not just my design. Interesting.
