Ahem...

After owning a professional jewelery manaufacturing and full service facility
for over twenty two years I must say that I find the Television merchandizing
jewelry quality abhorant at best.  The stones are very close to the poorest
commercial grades sold, and the rings are always featured making slow rotations
from side to side (like a hanging deadman swinging on the gallows)...  ...this
avoids showing the hollowed out insides of the mountings, wich look to be nice
plush rings but are actually hollow soap-bubbles of gold holding commercial
junk.

Trying to service the normal commercial product sold by "tootie and the gang"
is like trying to pick yer nose with yer elbow...  Nothing can come of it... 
Once dented these rings are eternally ugly...   ...and the diamonds?  Hazy
white heavily included stones are thhe norm, and rarely does on "get what one
thinks they are buying"...  I saw someone said that "you get what ya pay for"
but I strongly dissagree here, I think what you get is less than quality and
durability, less than acceptible quality and that''s not right...

If jewelry's job is to be beautiful then my spin is that thhe general items
sold by TV discounters are way short of the mark...
...both in price for what you get, as well as in representing things in
non-standard flowery terms designed to part grandma from here pension check for
some Hong Kong junk ring with horrible commercial poor grade stones crookedly
set in to place...  Ugh....
If ya want to hear yer voice on the air then call yer local radio talk show and
keep yer fingers clear of junk...  
Toot, toot....
