Hi Pernula,

The jeweler is going to have a much smaller investment in the cfwp strands. He could have a pretty big investment in Tahitians! If I were going to purchase Tahitians, I would want multiple strands to pick from! Sometimes a jeweler can bring in a high end collection on "memo", meaning he only pays for what is sold during the time the collection is there. So what he said was probably true, I probably would have tried to say something a bit more positive way!
