i apologize if this is the wrong forum
my gf and i have been actively searching for a setting for quite awhile. we have found almost the perfect one with a couple exceptions. what we like most about it is that it's double banded all the way around without a split. i have gone to at least 15 jewelery shops in last half year (both local and chain in about 3 different major cities) and could not find anything double banded all the way around without a split. what we don't like is the max carot it can hold (1.1c is max, i want to go bigger) and a little knot design on the bottom (this isn't that big of a deal). any suggestions where else to look? getting this custom made i have been quoted $1700-$2500 for it which is way above my range for a setting (i was looking for $1000 range)

thoughts?
 
If you look up our vendors, you could find out from them who could recreate this ring. Although, I'd check and make sure that it's something that can be done. I wouldn't keep my expectations too high (as far as it looking identical) because they may not be allowed to "recreate" such a ring without getting sued...Are you open to other options? JA, BGD, GOG, and WF have gorgeous solitaires!
 
I have no doubt in my mind that IDJ could do this for around 1k if not lower. I think they have the best pricing on PS. Now with that say would I have them recreate a pave HW halo- no I wouldn't recommend that at all, but for a farily simple setting with a lower budget I think IDJ will blow everyone elses pricing away.

I would request a quote from WF, IDJ and ERD to see what they come back with. Goodluck and I really do LOVE that ring. I think it is stunning but the circle of diamonds give it something extra! :love:
 
i am sorry guys, i don't understand any abbreviations :?

can you elaborate? lol
 
Ha - sorry! Whiteflash, Brian Gavin Diamonds, Good Old Gold, James Allen and Engagement Rings Direct and ID Jewelry - they're all our vendors.
 
thanks, just sent an email out to 5 vendors that you guys recommended, will update in a couple days as i hear back from them, hoping for good news!
 
Why don't you contact A. Jaffe and see if they make it for larger than 1.1 cts, I find that hard to believe.
