My approach is that most jewelery is fundamentally valued based on material content plus a relatively small amount for labor (10% or...

There are a lot of laymen's terms for the word "Valve." I've seen them called hydrants, faucets, taps/tappers, stops/stoppers...

Yes, we (US) call our beer, uh 'spigots' (to use a third term both nations probably know but use less frequently) 'taps' instead of...
