Hello;
I''ve searched high and low trying to find an engagement ring that I like, and that I know my girlfriend will like as well. I finally found the ring pictured below, and I love everything about it... except that I can''t buy it any where!!!
It''s supposedly a copy of a 1910 design done in platinum but the online store where I found the image no longer stocks this ring
So, I''ve attempted to have several local jewelers get me estimates for making the ring, but most of them say they can''t because the design is too complicated!?!?!? So far only one shop has said they could do it to the tune of nearly $2k in platinum
So, for one, have any of you seen a similar design anywhere that can be purchased? If not, what material should I have the ring made in: white gold or platinum?
I''m leaning towards platinum despite the price difference. I want to make sure the ring is as strong is it can be, and I actually want the ring to look old and tarnished, but not yellow
The jeweler I stopped at today claimed that white cold was actually stronger than platinum and that those who say differently are just lieing to get more money!??!?
I don''t know anything about the physical properties of either metal, so I don''t know which one is stronger, but I was under the impression that platinum is stronger(?)
What are your thoughts? Gold or platinum? (Or where could I look to find a similar ring
)
Sincerely,
Todd M. Taylor
