ERD/ be custom quote

[ringsearching]

Hi- I want to include ERD/be in vendors who I also for quote on an e-ring reset for a custom setting with Solitaire microwave band and basket and claw prongs very dainty. setting along the he lines of the picture below - but probably with scalloped basket. I love pictures similar on VC and SK and maytal's instagrams as well but in case their quotes are too high I woudl like to get from BDE as well. Not sure if from bde would be hand forged or cast. I'm not even sure my exact budget but possibly if paying less woudl allpw em to get a thin band to wear it with at the same cost as the whole project with one of the other designers it may be worth it to me to go bde route. Some of their pieces look marvelous! I just don't know how to ensure I'd get the very delicate and fluid little metal look I want with them.

do I ask specifically for Chris? Or for mark? Or just see whoever emails me back? Does it matter?

If I recall correctly, they had both options.

IDJ also can quote you for cad cast and Hand forged.

Besides the quote, you should probably factor in turn around time too, and make sure you're quoting for about the same ctw, metal, etc.

you can ask for some pictures of their past creations for similar styles to assess craftsmanship. not an expert here, but just my two cents on ways to get you comfortable
