Confirming the sketch
Look through the sketch in detail and ask the jeweller to explain to you on how is he going to create this piece of jewellery. Then, the jeweller should provide a 3D design including its dimensions, colour and gemstones/diamonds. After confirming, remember to always ask for the overall cost of the entire process.
