Would you buy the original or have it copied?

bgray,

Have you looked at Roman Malakov? My friend and I passed by and they have a number of the type of band you want.

Thanks Harriet -I will look into it--is there a website?

I would go with the original

Some pieces are not easily duplicated.

Actually I have come to that realization. I personally wouldnt be comfortable saying please copy this anyway...............

I felt the same way about my Cartier Trinity ring. There are companies that make copies, but I wanted the original and I''m glad I bought it

I like the homeycomb design, but could not find any examples in rings. Do you have any photos?

You''re welcome. The website is: www.romanmalakov.com, but I''m not sure if it lists their inventory.

I cant find any bands on their site. It doesnt seem to be working properly either.

do you all think that it would look better set with white diamonds or yellow diamonds?

if i were to go custom...what do you think about a band with this design (honeycomb) but set with diamonds? Or do you like the cartier better? Also I was hoping to use ACA melee but how would that work if i didnt have Whiteflash make the band?

I think white diamonds would be best, but I''m not a real fan of yellow diamonds in this type of band

thanks--i agree but just wanted to get some other feedback. one last question: would you have the edge of the band be irregular like the edge of the cuff in the picture or even?

Don''t go to Roman Malakov. They ripped off my fiance. If you do, make sure you see the GIA before you purchase.

 

[NYgirl10016]

And by "ripped off my fiance", when he got the engagement ring appraised, it was appraised for a third less than what he paid - thousands of dollars. It wasn''t even the quality that they told him it was.

You can have just about anything remade. If your interested in platinum, now is the time! The price is way down.Its hard to say what it would cost, I don''t think that''s something you can find here. If you can get a picture, I would ask around any trusted stores. You would be surprised what you find by price matching.

The have a booth and a store on 47th st. Maybe you can swing by. I can''t vouch for their integrity since I''ve never bought from them. But, I''d thought I''d let you know what I saw.

fyi--i tried on the original and even though lovely hardly worth the price given the design and materials.............
