(Ok \u2026 where did your mind go?!) The back of our art, especially in jewelry, can be too easily ignored or at least is treated with less consideration and attention to detail than the side we consider the front.

Wouldn&#8217;t you want your customers to be just as pleased or awed by what they see on the back as they are by the side that every one else sees? I think it&#8217;s such a missed opportunity to leave the back plain.
