Gold AND diamonds.  Different conversation when you are saying I have all the material, what is your craftsmanship worth?

I had him make the diamond cross I posted just to test him out and now he is working on the bezel for my krugerrand, then a diamond bezel for my Breitling.  

The bezel is coming from Samsons Watches, he is just setting the diamonds.......

Don't forget to let those diamonds breathe

Need ninja in here for instructions on da fungibility

-Rare miners cut from a VERY OLD  engagement ring, baguettes sourced by jeweler.

I rock 10-20k in custom jewelry daily and most of it is 1 of few or custom designed.....

I know what i am talking about.

Where's the best place to go for engagement rings tho? 2016 might be my Kobe year, might be hanging the jersey up. Kay website look cool but I'm not trynna go a penny over 3500. Will u get the best bang for your buck out the moms n pops joints or big names?

If I was looking to get a nice silver cuban bracelet where y'all recommend me to look?

The jewelers in my area (Belgium) aren't exactly experienced with cuban links so I'm looking for a jeweler that doesn't only have excellent craftsmanship but willing to ship overseas as well.

Inb4 "lol at silver", it's my choice. I like the look of silver and gold is generally considered tacky here. I could buy white gold but I don't really see the point in spending that much more for something that ultimately looks nearly identical to silver.

I got my silver cuban from Daniels, Price is great, weight is good and i wear it everyday with no fading or issues.

Rey. He has molds.  

I asked him about specific pendants on his IG once and molds on his IG another time and he never responded. He responds quick about cubans

Very true. Pretty sure Rey is only interested in making 50g+ cubans. Can't blame him, at the end of the day the guy is a 1 man show with only so much time in a day so he's making hay while the sun shines. This cuban fad won't be around forever.

I've heard the knocks on diamonds, de beers cartel, bad resale, etc; never heard the other side. Is there another side

The other side is you can buy good quality diamonds, unset in bulk or take them from existing rings and make your own.  

Find a good jeweler, not a jewelry store, and you can get or have made pretty much anything you could want and for no where near retail.

Just came in the mail. Moms Xmas present. I ordered saturday at like 3am and it's here already. Whoever recommended ashford (I get CAbased and theconnect confused ) I ordered from overstock.com but I think it was fulfilled by ashford

Random thought: I think it's time for me to get a credit card and start to build my credit, so I might return this then re buy it with the cc. I don't like the idea of buying **** I don't have the $$ for and being in debt. I'd rather just save and buy it straight up, idk tho..

I'm also not sure how long it's gonna be on sale for. I don't want to return it for $300 then pay retail for $900+

A local jeweler or private jewelry store you trust, or James Allen if doing it online, stay away from all those mall chain jewelers (Kay,zales,Gordon's etc etc) most of them are owned by the same company and are ripoffs. You can get a Gia certified si-vs stone for the price you pay for that I2, I color crap

Turned my yellow gold ring from yellow to white.  It looks like a borderless pool with a diamond floating in the middle now!

Before Rhodium

After Rhodium
