Hi Ana,

Thanks for this link with a great selection of designers. I’m just sorry to see that my personal favorite, Reinstein/Ross, was not listed. I absolutely love their designs and am a huge fan of theirs.

Kindest regards always,
Linda

GlitterGal,

I went to their site. They have a great collection.

I have to see anybody do high karat gold here in the US, and there are a few loose stones that I have that will be better off set in high karat gold.

Do they do custom work? Thought I'd ask.

Hi katbadness,

Thanks for your post. Whenever I’m in the neighborhood of one of their stores, I stop in to marvel at their outstanding craftsmanship and rainbow colored stones.

I find them to be simply magnificent! My understanding is that yes, they do custom work with stones that you bring in. Please keep us posted if you decide to use them for a piece or two that you’re having made.

Kindest regards always,
Linda

Interesting and very odd work! Some of the pieces are gorgeous and others are just too weird for my taste! lol I liked Cathy Carmendy and a couple other artists, but this was it. . .I mean many had nice designs, but nothing I'd wear, which was the primary basis for whom I voted for.

Hello all,

This is my first post to the board, which I found while doing a search for Reinstein/Ross. I just stopped by their store today, and left my 1.73 Princess F, VS2, Ideal with them to be set in one of their beautiful 22K gold bands! I believe the band is called their "Shimmer Ring."

A picture of the band can be found on their site, www.reinsteinross.com, under the Rings section, last group of pictures on the bottom, look at the lower and right-most gold ring. It''s the one with two broad bands on the outside of the ring, with the deep channel being lined with tiny but INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT diamonds! The diamonds happen to be fully cut brilliants, despite their tiny size! My princess will sit in a bezel, which will be slightly wider than the with of the band.

You really have to see their rings in person to believe them. For me, the most shocking thing is the craftmanship, and the beautiful choice of materials: 20k or 22k gold, with very high quality stones accenting much of their collection. If you have not seen high carat gold in person, you should. There''s such depth in the metal, and it''s really mesmerizing!

Reinstein/Ross makes every ring from scratch. Indeed, I will have to wait about 4 weeks for my ring to be completed, as it does not yet exist. This is no cast setting, like 95% of all rings made. They actually start out making their very own gold ore, which they then HAND FORGE into their beautiful and intricate designs.

I never thought I''d place so much thought into the setting, thinking that all that mattered was "the ROCK," but after finding these designs, I think that the diamond will look even more magnificent, the whole eventually being greater than the sum of its parts.

What will make this proposal all the more special, is that our relationship was forced to go into a long-distance relationship

, after my GF went away to graduate school (we are both in our 30''s). Incredibly, our relationship blossomed under this arrangement, instead of fading, and I can''s wait to propose in just 6 weeks!!!!!

I''ll post a pic of the ring when it''s completed!
