Hi all,
I'm in the beginning of the process of designing a custom engagement ring. I am looking for something modern and unique. I'm including pictures of my inspirations that are designed by Peter Barr in Corpus Christi, TX. Has anyone heard of him? Does any one have advice on who to get to make a similar custom ring? I am in the process of receiving a price quote from Brian Gavin and crossing my fingers it will be in my budget of $5,000.
I want the ring to be yellow gold, and I am thinking about slight modifications to the designs. For instance, the princess cut design, I do not like the row of smaller diamonds underneath the top layer of bezel. I am leaning towards the princess cut design, rather than what I call the "swirl" because I already own 2 round cut diamonds and would like something a little different. I also thought that the princess design offers a lot of leeway to play around with a band. ie, get one white gold one, get one brushed gold one. I have a feeling to stay in budget I will need to stay below a karat. I was thinking .80ish.
I am looking for input and advice from anyone willing to give it to me
Does anyone have any thoughts on the pluses and negatives about either of the designs? Any ideas on how to improve the designs? Am I being totally unrealistic about the budget?
