    Sounds like the carpenter hunting for an anatomy book and razor
    blades so he can learn to be a brain surgeon. Find a school or
    evening classes and start learning how to work with metal and stones.
    Once you learn how to solder, hammer, ding, color, and joyfully
    manipulate your materials THEN start playing with the designs. What
    with 362,000 plus "designers" out there who needs another one. (This
    figure came up not to long ago in a similar discussion.) What we need
    are skilled and talented people who understand their medium and work
    to the highest standards they are capable of. Just because I think I
    can run a cumpoter don't meen I be learned.....Spell check be damned.
    Learn to spell first. 

    Obviously this hit a sore spot with me. I run a jewelry school. Most
    of the would be designers eventually drop to the wayside once they
    learn that there is more to this game than drawing pretty pictures.
    Another diamond, Ho Hum. 

    You want to get from A to C. Seems to me that B is part of the path.
    You did not mention B.
