    Just for contrast I thought I'd comment on something Neil said the
    other day, and I think we share it, along with others. I could care
    less about jewelry on a personal level. I have no use for it beyond
    utility - a tie tack holds down a tie, for instance. That doesn't
    mean I don't appreciate it, I just don't like to wear it. What I do
    like is making things, and jewelry lets us make things out of some
    of the finest materials, to the highest standards. I've also made
    many other things (Furniture, lamps, clocks, machines......). I think
    there are a lot of jewelry makers like that - we don't make it
    because we love jewelry so much as we are tinkerers, designers and
    craftspeople. Just a point of view....
