Precision of custom ring

hfollett Rough Rock Total Posts: 37 Last Post: 5/24/2007 Member Since: 2/4/2004	How precision should I expect a custom made ring to be? The one I just had made has three channel set diamonds (the channels are vertical vs. the typically seen horizontal channels). The diamons are not set perfectly within the channels. Should I expect some variance because it is custom?

Should I expect some variance because it is custom?---------------- With custom work I would not compromise on any craftsmanship. If you had the piece custom made I would not hesitate to voice your concerns to the jeweler. Custom pieces require a high level of communication between the client and the jeweler involved. If you feel you did a good job communicating and the piece did not receive the attention you think it deserved I would go back and have the piece made to your specifications. Keep in mind there are individuals in the trade that have more experience than others working in different mediums of jewelry fabrication. Hopefuilly you did a little research and leg work finding out about who you are working with... Josh Rioux Haines, Alaska The Colored Gemstone Nut

He agree with all of my points and even found an issue that I hadn't noticed. The good news is that he's going to make a new wax and rebuild the ring - the bad news is I have to wait 4 more weeks until it's completed. I guess that's the price I have to pay for perfection!
