[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 557651, member: 11720"] We used to use Rio Grande from the USA. Very good quality settings. The trick was to buy a decent amount to make the shipping cost worthwhile, ie, it cost the same amount to send a six-pack of beer to the US as it does to send a carton. Why did we buy from the US? We discovered that some of the suppliers in Australia were supplying material that was not what it was said to be. A woman who purchased some earrings from us got irritation from the posts so they were not hypoallergenic and not white gold. Another time the ring metal developed spotting, once again not gold and other times sterling silver-plated. [/QUOTE]
