Just been asked to continue setting some models for a highly regarded company that have for the past couple of years been done by a talented trained goldsmith who makes/sets & finishes their own.
I sent them back stating the stone size being a fraction too small & therefore cannot be done correctly....
I wonder how many products are out there that could be significantly improved by some slight tweaking by listening to someone who "knows a little better" & wants to help?
Bit like all those "Ramsay" type programs on tv these days.
Very difficult to educate & tell someone they are doing things not quite right even though they somehow manage to get away with things for years.
Can`t bring myself to do work unless it is at least within a certain range of correctness & the amount of borderline cases these days is quite unsettling!
