Hello everyone!
I am somewhat new to Pricescope. I have been lurking on and off for a little over a year, but this is my first time posting.
My boyfriend and I have started officially looking at engagement rings (!!!), and I thought I'd come here for some advice.
First off, I adore Mark Morrell's work, and am especially interested in his Slim Petite Torchiere. I know that his work is top quality, and I love seeing the rings he makes.
However, I also found a ring at Eternity by Yoni, called Kate. (I hope it's okay to link - http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/engagement-rings/diamond-engagement-ring/Kate-Ring-with-Crown-Basket-540.htm# ) It looks very similar to the Torchiere, and I have already contacted Yoni about making it without the extra diamonds on the band and having a reverse taper as I prefer that. He was very confident that could be done, and said that it would lower the price listed on the website.
I like that there is a 100% guarantee and 30 day full return policy (though a 30% restocking fee for custom designs). I do not believe Mark offers that.
That being said, do you think there will be a noticeable difference between the two rings? I want quality, but I also want security that I will 100% love the ring I get, and am a little nervous about purchasing something I haven't tried on. I've searched past posts and have found mostly positive reviews for Yoni.
Also, I am preferable to platinum, although Yoni offers settings in Palladium, which I have done some past research on, and like as well, though I realize I may run into issues later if I ever need maintenance on it. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with Palladium in particular?
Thank you all in advance!
