Notes from the bench: how stones are graded, what CAD can and cannot reproduce, and what actually drives the cost of a custom piece.
Metal, stone, labor, and detail decide the price of a custom build. A breakdown of each cost line and which ones are worth changing.

Platinum and white gold both look white and behave very differently over decades. A comparison of density, patina, plating, and repair.
Karat decides gold content, hardness, and how deep the color runs. A practical comparison for rings, chains, and earrings worn every day.
