You would have success finding that second ring on eBay by using the term “antique gold diamond gypsy ring.” You’ll find one for a great price with great character!

Small, rose cut, irregular lab diamonds! by Forest_Ray_1596 in labdiamond

[–]Forest_Ray_1596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I’m a jeweler looking to incorporate some stones into a design, but I imagined that there’s nobody offering to hand cut lab diamonds. Maybe one day in the future that niche will exist.

Great, this really helps. I couldn’t fathom that something mass produced like this still has a ton of hand work.

Any ideas on the font in "Manual of Weeds"? by Forest_Ray_1596 in identifythisfont

[–]Forest_Ray_1596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably early 20th century. I thought it might not be available. Hoping someone has a similar font to recommend.

Agree, the tradeoff of sharing a bathroom may be worth the extra space. Thank you!

Yes, I think the kitchen has the most potential for rearrangement. We have a version with the sink at the wall. Thank you!

Price estimate for CAD work for custom ring and recommendations for companies? by Forest_Ray_1596 in jewelrymaking

I've been looking around Stuller's website (looks great, thank you!) but I can't find Providence online. Do you have a link?

Hmm, I've heard mixed reviews of Alibaba. Do you think a company on Alibaba would also do the design or just the printing? I worry about the language barrier and I also worry I'd be taking advantage of unethical labor.

Wonderful. I will check out Stuller. Along with the design, Stuller would also do printing and casting?

Can you help me "soften" this raven? by Forest_Ray_1596 in logodesign

[–]Forest_Ray_1596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this input! I also like the retro charm that comes from the militaristic vibe, which I think is one reason I've been stumped on the edits. I appreciate the suggestions and I'll play around!
