I can attest to the quality of Steve's work. I had the privliege of meeting him (and his wife) at his shop (in a 13th century church) in Ludlow, England a couple of years ago. My husband and I found them to be delightful, gracious people, spending a couple of hours with them. I think Steve's work is high quality and worth what he charges for it. When we finally left his shop, I'll admit that I was quite a bit lighter in the pocketbook. I've worn one of his pieces, a reproduction reliquary (sp?) that was commissioned by V&A for their Goth exhibit, several times and everytime I have I've gotten wonderful comments. BTW, he does a lot of commission works for the many of the British museums and historically socitities. Back to lurking.
