Art Deco Style Ring

[towers]

I am currently looking for the perfect art deco engagement ring. I have a budget of $6000 and could be flexible. I found this ring at http://antiqueengagementrings.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1969. It is the perfect style but the stone is smaller than what I am looking for. I am wondering where I might find rings of a similiar style new or antique. Also I was wondering where i might be able to have a custom ring made in that style.

I am new to the forum. I have been browsing for some time and have found it very helpful. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

I think someone like Maytal Hannah could custom make something like that for you that would be STUNNING. She does beautiful antique-ish work.

Van Craeynest has a couple of band styles (similar to the setting you linked) that likely have a setting counterpart. Here's a link to some in their " jewel collection ". I'll bet they could modify the shank too, to make it more delicate.

ETA- VC can do custom too, or perhaps modification of existing styles. They're jewelry is die-struck so it's an entirely different process than a lot other companies who do custom.

What a pretty ring! This is a predictable suggestion from me, since I love Single Stone like Love in Bloom loves Van Craeynest, but this is a similar setting from Single Stone and they may have an antique stone and other settings that could work within your budget. Many PSrs have worked with them and my wedding band was made by Single Stone; I found them completely delightful to work with.
ETA - Welcome to Pricescope, by the way!

oh-I second Single Stone. They may be resetting my stone.

And VC is simply amazing!

gorgeous stuff, and apparently great to work with.


ETA: just wanted to add, you can definately get something larger in your budget. If you want sidestones, I would say at least a ct is possible .
Happy hunting !

ITA neatfreak, but you know I'm partial! VC is the first company that came to mind when I saw the one in the link because of the deco bands , although I'm sure SS could rock it too. I would be interested to see how the prices from Van Craeynest and Single Stone compare. Perhaps Fay Cullen could even be a lower priced alternative if there is a setting that fits the bill, though probably not a custom setting.

just my 2 cents but van craeynest and maytal are more art nouveau and victorian inspired. deco typically doesnt have the pierced netting and floral swirls and swags. deco tends to be very geometric...........with neoclassic elements

I think it's just terminology, bgray. I'm not attempting to label a company's work "this" or a specific designer's style "that" and I think we're all just brainstorming where to find something that works with a larger stone and looks similar. Neatfreak suggested Maytal and I suggested VC as they both have the ability to do custom work, knowing the techniques required to replicate such a piece.

Here is the setting the OP likes, for reference:

I am sorry. I wasnt implying anything --I guess I assumed when she said perfect deco ring i was thinking DECO.............

Thanks for all of the advice. I really liked what I saw on the single stone web site and am contacting them to get more information and discuss what I am looking for.
