Need advice on custom!

[MINE!!]

I want a 1 ct Princess : J color, good cut. Set in a tulip setting on a comfort fit band (I want my wedding band to fall flush against my E-ring) I need someone who is going to do it in 14K with platinum prongs to hold the diamond. I want 2 inset sapphires at 10 and 2 (2.4mm) But I need someone who will also make the W-bands for us also. We want White gold bands on the inside and yellow gold beading on the outside in a comfort fit band. About 5mm.

Could you recommend someone who will do an amazing job without my fiancee having to rob a bank?

Thanks!!

Every modest size city has at least one custom ringsmith who would love to build you a ring. I even recommend that you shop arround between them and find one that you like samples of their work.

Concerning the money.... I do not know your budget nor your finances. Overall you get what you pay for. The people here on Pricescope can help you find some of the better diamonds and other gems for a reasonable price.

I suggest working a few more months (or years) and saving up for it - if you cannot afford it at this time.

Alternately, you can start by buying a stone here and there to assemble the ring. I myself have a pair of matched side stones meant for a 3 stone ring in my safe. They were not that much (compared to the eventual center stone) and allowed me to learn about the internet buying and appraising process.

My personal rule is not to buy anything that I cannot pay cash for except for really major items (like my house, or possibly a replacement car).

I have excellent credit, but there is no advantage to paying credit card interest. I do use credit cards, but all new purchases are paid off every month (I am paying off a huge CC debt due to past unemployment and medical bills, $25,000+ paid off so far, a lot more to go).

Basically we have 7000 cash to pay for everthing. We live in a rather small place that only has 1 person that can do anything custom and he is going to change anything he wants because he knows that he can. This is my second marriage and I feel like no srping chicken so I want as best as I can get with the money that we have saved for it. Would you have any suggestions?
