Re: Diamond District Vendor Referrals?

I had a wedding band custom made by a family friend.

He's at 55 W.47th Street - Basement.
There are a bunch of booths that do different things there...he's all the way in the back towards the right. His name is 'Tony Hichme'

ETA: I had the Tiffany ring replicated
It's Yellow Gold with diamonds

Dharmesh Parekh is GODSENT! My fiancee had an original design done at an exceptional price. He is willing to work with your budget and your ideas. He offers only the best and really gives you options.

Please check him out at Shree Creations in the diamond district.
