I recently got these custom made stone ring blanks in. Last June I had samples cut here in New York from rough I bought at a stone importer, most of the material I got was not very good. I thought rough was rough and the lapiderist could use whatever I gave them. I learned a lot from that experience. Buying rough is an art in and of it self and requires x-ray vision.
This is the specification drawing I did and the final stone ring blank I really like making the drawing. It required me to adjust every measurment based on the ring size. I did three sizes the lapiderist was right on the mark.
