Wedding ring question/advice?

Hi ladies,

I'm in love with a very particular wedding band, however it's more than I would like to spend, and I think it is actually far TOO expensive, for what it is. It's in a fairly trendy boutique in NYC...sigh.

Does anyone know where I might look in NYC to get this 'kind' of ring made? If I bring a picture of it to another jeweler, can they reproduce it?

I don't know anything about jewelry design, creation, so any advice would be great!

Thanks

You can definitely get it custom made elsewhere for cheaper.

There are quite a few reputable places on LI and in the city. you can FM me for some names

Bring it to a jewlery store in the diamond district to have it custom made!
I am acutually having my wedding band custom made, its just an eterntiy band. GL

Thanks ladies. I think my FH and I will head to the diamond district this Sunday...are they open on Sunday?

I really appreciate all the feedback. I was wondering if it was frowned upon to try and get someone else's design recreated...

Not frowned upon at all. People do it all the time. Why pay for a 'name' when what you really should be paying for is the diamond and the craftwork itself. There are many places in the diamond district that will recreate work for you. Shop around and get some quotes.

And yes, they're open on Sunday. Most booths though are closed early on Fridays and closed on Saturdays entirely for the sabbath.

I agree - this is the SMART thing to do - I got the Ritani Endless Love ring for my Ering but umm not made actually my Ritani!!

I have a great jeweler who works in the diamond district but also meets people in his home in freeport during the week - FH didn't have to go into NY at all, he brought all diamond samples, etc to his house in freeport! awesome guy.
