I made the mistake of asking someone close to me ! to have a look at my stuff for any imperfections. He used a x10 loupe and under that magnification every single piece looked dreadful. Trouble is, when you photograph something to go onto a website etc, the tiniest imperfections looks terrible. Trying to draw a line between what is acceptable and what is not is really difficult, especially when comparing with other work that is out there.

Do others have a formula that they use that they are happy to share? ie up to 3 jump rings that are not EXACTLY aligned is ok, but more than that is not...? (I tried to italicize the exactly, but for some reason this option was not available, so my apols for caps).
