I posted something about many jewelers not liking custom work in the forum, Jim has suggested I link to it from the main page here. This is intended more for consumers than for the pros that are here now, but you may enjoy it also. Wink

Wink Jones → Diana: If I tell them about them they are not all that excited, but when I show them a wonderful gem, especially one cut by Richard Homer, they get VERY EXCITED.
