Who could make this ring?

[dmd4ever]

Not sure if I'm in dangerous water with this question or not, but I'd like to know if anyone has recommendations for someone who could recreate a variation of this ring: http://www.vogue.co.uk/jewellery/news/100422-solange-azagury-partridge-engagemen.aspx (and how much you think it would cost). Thanks in advance!!!

To clarify, I'd probably want to make some changes to make it a bit more "wearable" as an ER. I'm mostly curious as to who you'd recommend for this very non-traditional type of custom work. I know people rave about Leon, for example, but I'm not sure if this is his cup of tea?

Leon Mege, Mark Morrell, Maytal Hannah and Ocean Pearlman are the names which come to mind, all do handmade custom work and are all very highly regarded here. I'd give them all a call, show them what you want and see which you feel most comfortable with. Some may be uncomfortable with replicating someone elses ring but there is no harm in speaking to them and just seeing what they say. Worse case scenario is they will tell you no

I think any of the named jewelers can make this piece. I would probably go with Ocean Perlman for this design although I am sure Leon can execute it as well.

Thanks for posting the pic And thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'll check around. I also have to think about how I want to modify it as I love the design and think she will too, but if it's going to be an ER, I think I need to make sure it will be wearable and not to fashion ring-ish...

I agree this ring looks more like a fashion ring than an ering. I think maybe doing a more traditonal ring with stars integrated into the basket or hidden in the shank might be a choice. Remember this will likely be the ring that she wears every day for the rest of your lives so you might want some thing that will not go out of style or that her tastes may change.

Good luck

the ring is different

I wouldn't bore Mark Morrell he at his page make its pretty clear that he don't want to copy someone else's work, his design are lovely.


Just tip.

Good luck

Please remember that I still don't wish to copy the work of others.

Have you contacted the designer and ask if she would be willing to modify the piece for you? That's where I would start.

Have contacted the designer and the setting alone (unmodified and without a center stone) is $32k

ok 32k for a mount is just NUTS! I really like the I tricate design of the sides but I'm not the "gaps" between the setting and the diamond from the view from the top. I think the stars nee to curve a bit more or perhaps they could meet up with a rim to bezel the diamond? I'm not a fan of copying someones artwork. Mostly because something generally gets lost in. The translation. This is a very "art" piece. Kind of punk rock meets antique. I haven't gotten that vibe from any of the suggested vendors

The designer is a celebrity designer so it is no surprise the prices are that high. Just contact Ocean Pearlman or Leon Mege and use this ring as an inspiration to come up with your own design. Leon doesn't have a problem using someone else's designs as an inspiration as long as he thinks it is nice (he does not think most Tiffany designs are nice - this is why he never would use those).
