:caution: long ramble ahead.
So, customer wants this design (ring or whatever).. so you make it like that.
Or do you?
I know business can be hard & you need the coin.. but, as a "professional" & i mean trained not just someone making your money that way, you need to think.
Not all customers have a clue about technical issues, practical design....
I think as a pro, if you feel something they want is just plain wrong, you need to give good reason & offer alternatives.
You don`t need to go ahead with a job your not satisfied with because... one day despite your initial happy customer, problems can creep in.
Others with more taste or knowledge may ask who done that?
You may find you wished it was someone else putting their hand up.
A customer may well think twice if you refuse, (there must be a reason he said that) since your the specialist & you will possibly get your way.
Basically i`m saying i`d have more respect for someone not doing a job than someone who does whatever just for money.
Sorry for the long post.. your opinions please
