I also remember Gerald Ratner. I can't help feeling a bit sad that we are losing true artisan skills like hand engraving as a lot of people prefer to buy something such as was on offer in Ratners, because it's so cheap it's practically disposable. It all seems such a waste of talent and natural resources somehow. That said, I also can't understand the craze for the bracelets beginning with P, they aren't cheap but seem something of nothing design wise, more paying for the brand and posh packaging. It's a bizarre world sometimes!
