Hi, My husband Mike has been a member of Orchid for a while. I am very much a novice when it comes to any jewelry beyond basic beads, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. (We won't discuss my lesson in the difference between CZ set in silver and diamond set in white gold! ) I've already gotten quite a bit of information from this site in just a few minutes of browsing after a google search. I expect to learn even more from you all as time goes on. Thanks, Deb Weller
