[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2845374, member: 13874"][USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] Where did I mention Swedish relatives? Never said anything about my relatives. Mine never thought about c.j. one way or the other. I just read your other post. I just don't get it: Why are you trying to pit one country's production against another? I have not disrespected any country in the production of anything. That tastes differ from country to country does not need pointing out. Hey, tastes differ from my neighbor's to mine! We're not talking about who likes fried fish as opposed to grilled, do we? So if I was thoroughly misunderstood by and offended my fellow Europeans in this forum when I claimed that the American costume jewelry was a world leader in the industry, I apologize. I still maintain that it is true having read about the daily numbers of pieces the RI industry was capable of producing in its hey day of the early 1950's. The following little quote bears somewhat on the previous statement: A Soviet minister once responded in an interview on American television when asked about the number of missiles in his country compared to the U.S. missile numbers, "They may not be as new as the American missiles, but we have more. There is a certain quality to quantity." Not that I agree that it matters who has more of something, or less. It's quality that should matter. She hopes![/QUOTE]
