Hello everyone!
I've been on the lookout for an engagement ring for quite some time now (turns out I'm picky and indecisive
). Anyway, I started wanting an antique ring and after a detour via modern ovals have come full circle. Though I love the modern cuts, whenever I go to a jewelers it's the antique stones that steal my heart.
Anyway, the SO and I are in the States for the holidays, then back to they UK on 5 Jan. Before we left London I found an amazing art deco halo but it sadly sold about 15 mins after I looked, and so now I am trying to find something similar in the States while we're here, largely since it tends to be a bit better value even when I take into account import tax. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm also torn between cushion and round so I've attached pics of both - any opinions gratefully received!
Both stones below are around 0.6ct. The features I like are the halo with the airline gap, the bezel setting, the decorative shoulders and the triply band (though I also like double). It's really important to me that the whole ring, not just the stone, are from the art deco era.
Do any of you have ideas on where I might find a similar ring in the States? To give you an idea of price, the ones attached cost around 5000gbp/$7500, but as we'd have to pay import tax on anything we buy here I'd like to keep the budget at around $5000. We're in Tallahassee, Florida, so we'd have to find a vendor that could ship to us before the 5th.
I realise it's a big ask in a short timeframe, but if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them!
