The above is an example of how the newer technology helps.
The small amount of 18ct white gold and yellow gold were
perfect for designing the cluster ring in two parts in a 3d
design program. An image was sent for verification then 3d

together and set the stones, send the ring with left over gold
back to happy customer! And the cost from £130.
