As I do alot of bespoke stuff I wont do any work until I get a deposit. Most other times I take a customers items to alter and this is essentially a 'deposit' too as most often the items are worth more than the cost of my work.
Another important issue to consider when taking orders is an address other than a PO box.
Making a deposit receipt written clearly of what the order is, forms a legal contract which is binding. In some cases if the order receipt is well written and the costs involved very high maybe legal action could be taken. The best idea is to always take a deposit that will cover the initial outlay costs.

Did you get a mould of the ring? £50 is quite alot for a mould imho, or did that include the cost of casting the ring and the silver too?

yes, got a rubber mould made as he said he wanted in gold too. it was really heavy- another request from the guy-50g.
however it does seem a bit pricey. i used eurocast.
going to have to be a lot more in control of commissions from now on with regards to customer ideas and deposits.
