A Summary Guide to THE HANDBOOK
Five Product Sections
There are five sections in THE HANDBOOK, each colour coded for easy reference and navigation:
1. Settings 2. Shanks & Rings 3. Clusters 4. Pendants & Earrings 5. Findings & Bullion
Product Information Guidelines
At the top of each page you will find examples of the information provided on that double page. The following general guidelines are worth bearing in mind:
Product code references wherever possible these include a series( style) reference followed by a size reference.
Height of settings the following symbol is used in the Settings section to give a guide to the height of each setting.
Diamond carat weights are provided where relevant for guidance. The best fit will depend on the exact dimensions of the stone.
Product weights are given as approximate weights in 18 carat gold. The same products will weigh less in less precious alloys such as 9 carat and 14 carat gold, and more in more precious alloys such as 22 carat gold and platinum. A Comparative Weight Table is provided at the rear of THE HANDBOOK to enable you to easily convert to weights in different alloys.
Fashion price bands from A2 to Q are used for most products. Current fashion prices can be found on the price list provided with the THE HANDBOOK.
Finger sizes where rings and shanks are supplied as castings, they are not sized: it is assumed that the jeweller will facilitate finger sizing as necessary. Where Domino supplies polished mounts or finished wedding rings, we are happy to work to your specified finger size.
Suggested combinations we have endeavoured to suggest combinations of settings and shanks which complement each other, and often these have been photographed as finished, stone set items.
