Can someone suggest good values for 2mm peridots?
I am a n00b when it comes to jewelry, only having done an four evening introductory course at Hatton Institute in Hong Kong. In particular, I have no experience with stone setting. Currently, I am in Bali. If I manage to finish my design, the plan is to have it 3D printed and cast in sterling silver, then get the stone setting done for me. I already found shops that can do all of that. Of course, eventually I would love to practise stone setting myself.
