When I was in college taking an "Economics 101" class, I remember having this one point hammered over and over again: "The law of supply and demand states that a low supply and high demand for any product or service will typically increase its price". That brings me to the title of this post. "Buying Scarcity". After some basic info, I will tie it into the jewelry trade.

Now I have nothing against selling jewelry. I did it for many years. I just do not want to mislead others into thinking that they cannot adequately clean their own jewelry, and I do not like using gimmicks to get you back into a store to sell you something.

Deconstruction is a process to understand how something was created. Mostly used in writing, it is also used in art.It is looking at the “components” to see how they make the “whole”, whether that is a piece of writing, a building, a favorite chair, a ring… Deconstruction looks at the smaller parts that were used to create an object. This gives insight into the mind of the person who created it. In some ways, it lets their thoughts and ideas continue to live centuries after they have passed. The smaller parts are usually ideas.
