Who is best to make this ring?

[jaywestra]

I found these designs and would like to have a ring made similar to them. This first picture is my favorite. It''s a bit more delicate.

This is my next favorite - maybe a bit easier to make?

Here''s the picture. I contacted Mark Morrell and got a response. I''m waiting to here more about a timeline and pricing. Any other?

The second ring may be easier to have a band next to. I''m not sure what you would do with the first.

This one doesn''t hold the diamond as I would like.

WHo makes the one in the first picture, I love that design?

Whiteflash made this one (see the Picture Gallery at the top of the page)

See my thread on Maytal Hoftman. She can make elaborate, simple, or contemporary designs. Mark Morrell is not taking on any new projects until after mid-September.

The first is by Niwaka. Niwaka The design is Dawn. The only store in the US is in New York and is moving after a robbery. They will be open again maybe in January. They will only sell rings with their diamonds and the price is quite high.

Maytal Hoftman settings that I have seen seem very ornate. Does anyone have photos of any simple - modern work she has done?

I would try Allan Creates, in Canada www.ringlock.com

Does great work.

Has anyone worked with Keith Farley? He has a few rings that are close to what I have in mind, but are a bit more solid then I was looking for. I guess the question is - Do I need to find someone who has the same thoughts about design and less fluidity in what I see they have done or do I look for the lightness and fluidity in someone''s work and then talk design with them? (what a horrible run on sentence)

Thanks,

Jay
