Thank you Salty!  And yes, very true we do produce custom fine jewelry not only for individuals but also for resellers and for bricks-and-mortar jewelry stores.  If you look at some of the threads I have posted you will see finished jewelry as well as pieces that are in the wax phase or that have just come from casting, and you will also see some CAD images from the design phase.  We utilize low-cost Thai labor and Thailand also has a business-friendly environment with low taxes.  Casting is reasonably priced here as well because environmental laws are not as stringent in Western consumer countries.  We mostly cast in 18K white and yellow gold and platinum 950, but can also do 14K.

Just as an example, if you don't go through eBay and buy direct from me with bitcoin the CAD drawing above would be $85 instead of $150.

Shopboy and ps_jb if you get in touch with me I can show you many examples of our current projects.  I can't post every item online because I make custom jewelry for other jewelers.  Their clients might be upset to see me using their design to promote my business, but I can share it with you individually in a PM or an e-mail.

I am an American but I've lived in Asia for about many years and have been in this business full-time for over a decade.  I am also a Graduate Gemologist (GG) with GIA and a member of their Alumni Association.
