I'm an artist and craftsman who makes contemporary jewerly.  there are several
appropriate newsgroups including rec.crafts.professional (I believe I have
that right) and several mailing lists as well including the Orchid group.  I
don't belong to that one, but you could probably track it down on the web.  Is
this by any chance in connection with work to be offered at a museum shop?
I'd be very interested.  What kind of museum?  Donna J. Carty
