    So, you'd turn down a commission for custom wedding bands? Or an
    engagement ring? I'd say that 60% of my business is making and
    selling custom wedding jewelry. It's very lucrative, and you may want
    to rethink this decision. Do you really want to throw out the
    possibility of making diamond (or other center stone) sales, read:
    easy money? 

    And let me also address the "prospective bride" issue. Perhaps you
    are not a people-person, salesperson, or person otherwise inclined
    to look toward your fellow human with an open mind, but there is no
    "typical" bride from whom you would wish to hide. To be evenhanded in
    my response, both the bride and groom can be a handful sometimes, or
    any other person interested in a custom piece of jewelry at any time
    in their life. But more often than not, both people are excited to be
    involved so intimately in the creation of what is, essentially, an
    expression of their love for each other. That may sound awfully
    gooey, but it is pretty cool to be included in this process, with so
    many different people.
