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 .
