Thanks once again for your recap, @goldmatters, and for the mention. We've got to have more stackers come over to Mene... they are beautiful! I know you know my stacking sis @kerrislravenhill, right. Well, she made an observation that there are some cultures that really value the higher karat gold jewelry. And it is mind-boggling that here, even in California, there is a preference for costume jewelry. Also I really loved @clitadias prose about it.
