How To Use This Book
This 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 find 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.
For more information, call us at 1-877-927-CAST (2278)
