The Question Every User Asks

When you open Tashvi Design Studio, you're faced with a choice that can feel overwhelming: Design Questionnaire or Prompt Design. Both paths lead to beautiful, professional jewelry designs, but they work in completely different ways.

So which one should you choose? The answer depends on how you think, what you know about jewelry, and how clear your vision is.

Design Questionnaire: Your Personal Jewelry Consultant

Think of the Design Questionnaire as having a friendly jewelry expert sitting next to you, asking all the right questions to uncover exactly what you want.

How It Works

Instead of staring at a blank prompt box, you're guided through five simple steps:

Step 1: Jewelry Type

• Ring, necklace, bracelet, or earrings?

• Visual cards help you choose

Step 2: Diamond Cut

• Round, princess, emerald, or other cuts

• See examples of each style

Step 3: Style Inspiration

• Country and cultural influences

• From classic American to vintage European

Step 4: Gold Color

• Yellow, white, or rose gold

• Visual examples show the differences

Step 5: AI Model

• Choose between DALL-E 3 for photorealism or FLUX for creative styles

• We explain what each does

Perfect For:

• First-time jewelry designers who don't know where to start

• Gift buyers who want something special but aren't sure what

• People who get overwhelmed by too many choices at once

• Anyone who enjoys the discovery process of exploring options

Real User Story: Sarah's Engagement Ring

"I knew I wanted something vintage-inspired, but I had no idea about cuts, settings, or gold colors. The questionnaire walked me through everything. By Step 3, I was seeing options I never would have thought of. The AI-generated description at the end was so detailed, I felt like an expert when I took it to the jeweler."

Prompt Design: For the Decisive Creator

Prompt Design is for people who wake up with a crystal-clear vision and just want to see it come to life. No questions, no guidance – just pure, direct creation.

How It Works

You get a simple text box and the power of professional AI:

• Type exactly what you want: "Art Deco emerald engagement ring with small diamonds and platinum setting"

• Choose your AI model (DALL-E 3 or FLUX)

• Watch your design appear in seconds

• Refine and regenerate as many times as you want

Perfect For:

• Experienced jewelry lovers who know their preferences

• Visual thinkers who can describe what they see in their mind

• People in a hurry who want results immediately

• Creative experimenters who enjoy trying wild ideas

Real User Story: Marcus's Custom Business

"I run a small jewelry business and need to create concepts fast during client meetings. When someone says 'I want a modern tennis bracelet but more unique,' I can type that exact phrase and show them options in 2 minutes. It's completely changed how I work with customers."

The Hidden Third Option: Start Guided, Switch to Prompt

Here's what most users don't realize: you don't have to pick just one. Many of our most successful designers use this hybrid approach:

1. Start with Design Questionnaire to explore and learn

2. Pay attention to the AI-generated description at the end

3. Copy elements you like into Prompt Design for variations

4. Experiment freely with your new jewelry vocabulary

Real User Story: Jennifer's Wedding Set

"I used the questionnaire for my engagement ring and learned so much about styles and cuts. Then I took phrases from that description and used Prompt Design to create matching earrings and a necklace. Having both options made the whole process feel manageable but still creative."

When Each Method Shines

Choose Design Questionnaire When:

• You're buying an engagement ring and want to explore all options

• You're designing your first piece of custom jewelry

• You have a general idea ("something vintage") but not specifics

• You want to learn about jewelry styles and terminology

• You're shopping for someone else and need guidance

• You enjoy the process of discovery

Choose Prompt Design When:

• You know exactly what you want: "vintage rose gold ring with emerald cut diamond"

• You're a jewelry business owner creating concepts for clients

• You want to experiment with unusual or creative ideas

• Time is critical – you need results now

• You're iterating on a design you already have

• You speak "jewelry language" fluently

Tips for Success with Each Method

Design Questionnaire Success Tips:

• Don't overthink – your first instinct is usually right

• Trust the process – each step builds on the last

• Save your favorites from each step to reference later

• Read the final AI description carefully – it's gold for future designs

Prompt Design Success Tips:

• Be specific – "elegant diamond earrings" vs "classic round diamond stud earrings in white gold"

• Include occasion – "for daily wear" vs "for black-tie events"

• Mention style era – "Art Deco," "Victorian," "modern minimalist"

• Try variations – change one element at a time to see different options

The Magic Happens When You Use Both

The most creative and satisfied Tashvi users don't see these as competing options – they see them as complementary tools:

Beginners start with Design Questionnaire to build confidence and vocabulary, then graduate to Prompt Design for faster iteration.

Experts use Prompt Design for most work but return to Design Questionnaire when exploring completely new styles or when they're in a creative rut.

Business owners use Design Questionnaire with clients who need guidance, then switch to Prompt Design for quick variations and refinements.
