The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

Plain - LOW-FLEC Finish Our standard finish is designed to be brite, but not reflective. A special proprietary process is used which breaks up the surface into tens of thousands of individual polished pockets. When hit with a brite light, the surface diffuses the light instead reflecting it. Black - Titanium Nitride TITAN KOTE TITAN KOTE is a form of Chemical Vapor Deposition, or CVD. This is a thin-film coating with a chemical and metallurgical bond that results from the reaction between various gaseous phases and the heated surface of a substrate. The final product is a hard, wear-resistant coating with an extremely strong bond to the substrate (stainless steel). TITAN KOTE is currently being applied on weapons systems used by the U.S. Military in Army Green, Earth Brown, and Desert Sand. Gold - 23kt gold Each pendant is direct plated with 40 microns of 23kt gold. Prior to plating, they are processed so as to have the rich look of 18kt gold. An important feature of the finish we offer is that the gold is direct plated to the stainless steel. With cheap jewelry, an underplate of copper or nickel is used to speed up the process and reduce cost. 3YWL0 This is the 5 digit code which was assigned to us by the U.S. Government as an identifier of who we are and the Religious Jewelry we make.
