Explain the role in the design
Is the melee for a halo, a line, a pattern or coordinated earrings? Send the design and explain whether this is a new project or replenishment for an existing collection. The intended use sets the matching priorities.
Clarify the expected color match
For a match to existing stones, provide clear photos of the original selection. Agree the intended color relationship across the piece and request images of the current options. Repeat sourcing still requires a fresh confirmation of actual goods.
Mention the project and report needs early
Melee and grouped selections do not automatically carry an individual report for every stone. Raise any documentation or inspection requirements before sourcing. The request can be discussed alongside center stones, paired accents and 18K gold work.
