Hello all, I'm new to the forum and in the process of getting an engagement ring for my girlfriend. She's decided on the diamond, probably a 1 to 1.5 carat princess to be purchased online, and the setting, a modern Ritani with a channel set band Style Number: 1PCZ2127BRP-782. We've seen this setting in person at two local large chain Ritani dealers in Canada. My GF loves the setting but she wants to make an alteration which would allow for a better view of the center stone. I'm new to this process and I just want to know if a jeweler would be able to make an adjustment? Or would I have to have the ring custom made to fit her specification. |

Call Bill Pearlman (of www.pearlmansjewelers.com). He carries Ritani and will work with you (and Ritani) to get the setting exactly how you want it. His prices are also really good. I know this because a while back I was considering remounting my center stone into a Ritani setting and dealt directly with Bill. As far as customizing...I am pretty sure Ritani will make some modificiations (I suggest having Ritani set the stone). I know if you go with Bill, he will make sure Ritani does it, and does it correctly. Plus, he is super-nice!!!! Good luck!!!

Go to WWW.Ritani.com and search this style/model number 1PCZ2127BRP. My girlfriend was interested in removing the one section which is preventing the view of the entire center diamond. Let me know your thoughts.

When I was considering a Ritani for my ering, I had called Pearlman's regarding changing the head on the ring. I was told the ring would be sent to Ritani for the change. I would contact Pearlman's like was suggested. When I contacted Robbins Brothers regarding the same change, I was told their jeweler would make the change (something I was not comfortable with and felt the quality would not be equal with Ritani). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Here's a link to the setting, but shown with a RB instead of a Princess: Pearlmans. Hope that helps. The Ritani site is a bit hard to use. I really like the Princess setting you picked. I guess you need to worry about protecting the four corners, and not try to do anything that might jeopardize that part. Gorgeous setting! |

I found it by pasting the model # into the search box. I imagine they could make some alterations. That side piece may be needed for structural reasons, but maybe it could be made differently. I wouldn't under any circumstances have another jeweler try to alter it. I'd only do it if Ritani would make the changes. And I agree that Bill Pearlman would be the person I would work with on the project.

I will definitely give Bill a call, and discuss the alterations. Any idea on possible turnaround time..... Do you think that I have the ring by Valentines day? I was told that for such a request it will take 2 to 3 months due to high demand season.

I can tell you that I had a Ritani setting customized through my local jeweler, and it was very easy. We had it done around May-June, and I think it took around 5 weeks. I purchased this setting, and asked Ritani to make 3/4 pave with round prongs instead of heart-shaped. I happened to speak with a Ritani rep at a trunk show, and he was very upfront about the modifications they can and can't make to their rings. For example, I wanted my prongs thinner and he got out his loupe and showed me how they have to be a certain thickness to hold the diamonds set under the pavillion. Point being that I don't think they will agree to do something that will compromise the integrity of the setting, so ask for what you want!
