Howdy folks,
New guy here, nice to meet you all! I live in a rural part of western-Europe and few people here know much about custom jewelry. I wanna get my girl something special to go along with poppin' a certain question. Fact of the matter is that every jeweler in the area (~50km around my place) will sell you something out of a catalog and he/she can customize it (size of the stone can go up or down a size, size of the band can be worked with) and that's about it. All hella expensive and I think I've seen about 100 options amongst their collective offer. So hop on the internet train, find some jewelers on Etsy, China, Britain and the US, found out about more materials to get your jewels in than gold & silver (appearently platinum, tungsten, palladium work for jewelry too!), find "CAD designed" options... but what's best? Will a CAD designed and cast ring be of equal strength as a traditionally crafted one?
The rest is pretty clear to me, I'll get working on a design for either a craftman or a CAD designer. Probably gonna be a platinum ring, moissanite centre big stone, couple of smaller stones around it, wide around the centerpiece (oval). You guys got any recommendations, do's or don'ts?
Gonna spend the rest of the night browsing through all the information available here!
Happy to be here & see ya around!
