Thank you so much for working on my project! I would like to switch the project to guaranteed payment, but I need to see at least one design I can accept before I make the switch. I talked to Design Crowd Customer Service and they recommended I not switch to guaranteed payment until I''ve received a useable design, as it''s an unusual project and I might not get any designs that meet my criteria. Someone submitted a design within 12 hours of my listing, but it does not include any celtic knot work, the rings don''t mate together, and the leaves are large, entirely 3D leaves hanging freely off the ring, not engraved into the metal, that I doubt any jeweler could make. Even if they could, they would just break off. As far as I know, that could be the only design I receive, or the others could also be unworkable, and I can''t pay $270 for a design I can''t use at all.

As soon as I see a single submitted design I can use, I will switch the contest to guaranteed, in the hope of attracting even more designs.

It is fine for you to upload low-resolution, single perspective designs for now, where I would need something better to have the ring made, and as soon as I see there is something good there, I can switch the contest over. I will definitely pay out the money if I get any design I use. I may also offer to pay more for revisions/additional views of a good design. If you''ve put work into this and have a good idea, lets work something out where we both feel comfortable that I''m getting the right designs and you''re getting the right compensation.

Thanks,

Tom.
