My idea started with a simple thought to make an elegant, slim-line, contoured ring. I had shopped a lot of times and looked at stones and bands and determined I liked solitaire style but the machines are versatile. I searched the Web for diamonds I thought were minimalist enough to provide for living wage expectations, and decided 1 gram of 24k gold is enough to start with and alloy down to 14k to provide enough for a slimline elegant band. The basket is extra. The machine is rented. But in the end the costs are realistic and have a profit margin. This would be really easy to offer on a custom basis!
