It's a shot in the dark, but doesn't hurt to ask if there is anyone on this site in gemstone or jewelry business in US, Thailand or Hong Kong?

I have a $150 wall mount faucet in my vintage kitchen that I've replaced 3 times in the last 12 years.  

Original appraisals are some of the first sets of paperwork to erode from a vintage file.  

This was a great find because I got all of my faux blinds, toilets, light fixtures, faucets for 50% off retail.

Ever have to wash a water heater (located in a kitchen corner because this is a "vintage" house) covered in two inches of dust and hair?  

I am making jewelry, and am in remission.

I personally love the mid-century modern 'sensibility' but having a hard time convincing my client that it would be a worthwhile investment.It's a hi-rise apartment unit being sold in "vintage" condition - the kitchen is original from 1964, even the oven!  

Many of our condo units are conversions that used to be standard multifamily apartments before getting new paperwork, a splash of paint, and faux granite countertops. 

@Chris WinterhalterWe had similar issues with a brick building and ended up using a faux stone cladding not unlike what you have depicted, but in a mixture of grey-tan with green in it.  

Its a commercial grade type of product which has a faux look of wood, tile, bamboo or any # of materials, you'll see this in grocery stores, commercial buildings and a lot of newer residential homes in Wichita.
