How o Use Tis Book 

Tis book is meant to serve two purposes: to help us better

communicate with our customers about custom design, and to
help our designers understand customer orders more clearly.

Use this as a guide to walk prospective customers through their

options when designing their jewelry. You’ll nd that all the terms
used throughout are industry standard, and using common terms
will make it much easier to communicate your design to the
Casting House customer service representatives.
