so, just to clarfy…you are planning to make the prototypes in sterling/ rhodium plated,with CZ…will production be the same? or will you be getting gold/ platinum, and real diamonds?..
if production will be CZ, you might also research…“Pure Grown Diamonds” (the processes), “Moissanite”, etc as an option to CZ…to take it up (quite) a few notches…but price will be higher…
I bought quite a few very nice looking sterling/ rhodium “diamond ring” and “eternity” band settings with CZ, at a gem/ trade show (in the “cash and carry” section) for fun…caution: they were about $25 wholesale…
