“There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this person’s lawful prey.”-unknown author
It is unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money—that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is typically made with plated or base metal, and utilize machine cut, often times imitation man made stones (from Asia) that become worthless in a relatively short period of time. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot—it just can’t be done.
Artisan Pride and Craftsmanship + Quality Materials = A piece of jewelry that will be a source of pride for a lifetime.
If you deal with low priced vendors, you will do well to remember the risk you run. The settings will not last, and the stones they utilize are inferior in cut and quality. Often times the vendor will not be in business down the road to honor any guarantee that was given on their merchandise. Remember that our artisan hand crafted jewelry is meant to last a lifetime, and the pricing reflects the use of quality wire produced in an American Factory employing hard working Americans, and hand cut stones and settings produced one at a time with pride by artisans from the United States of America.
