    Does anyone know somewhere that will make jewellery to design?
    Ideally in South Wales and as close to Newport as possible.
    If someone further away will do it but also offer good communications then they might be useful too.

    Considering a necklace and pendant. Either white gold/platinum, and may/may not include a couple of stones.

    Anyone any experience of this sort of thing?

    Random I know.

    Cheers.
    MO :)

    Anyone?

    I've been quoted £350-£450 for 18ct white gold with a diaMOnd.
    Don't think that's including a chain.

    Youch! Was thinking it'd be MOre like £200-£300.

    You can do this yourself mo, I know of some people who do this. You can buy all the bits you need online, then its just a case of putting it together, I can't remember the sites off hand, if you still looking for this let me know and I'll look them up.

    Thanks Dom, PM sent.

    Lee, I don't think I could trust myself to make something myself. Not really sure it would be possible either :confused:

    So, naff as it sounds "it came to me in a dream". I woke up and scribbled this down....

    [​IMG]

    I then sent it off for quotes and ideas on developing the idea....

    It uses our initials Stacey & Richard (Yes, my real name's not MO!) to form the heart. I liked the "3D" design, but wanted the initials to be secondry to the heart and thought the "flat" version did this better.
    It's about an inch in height and made of 18ct white gold. The stones are our birthstones. Peridot (Stacey), and Aquamarine (me).

    We've been together two years as of yesterday and I luckily managed to get it just in time so suprised her with it last night.

    I'm usually crap at keeping suprises but did so this time, and it's been worth it:)

    Took this and made it into a card, with pendant itself following.

    You may all bow to my romantic supremacy

    very impressive but clearly with a man's touch - you can see it doubles as a bottle opener ;)
