Can someone please provide me with a list of company''s who will custom make a wedding ring (platinum/men''s). I was working with someone but the ring did not turn out as expected, now they are not interested in making it right....2 weeks before my wedding day.
Thank you in advance
Dear Tall
I certainly realize that you have a time situation on your hands. However, excellent work takes time.. Having someone rush yet another custom ring may not be the right thing to do, and it will only make you more upset.
As alternative, wear a plain yellow or white gold band.
You can always get what you want later on... But of course this depends on the complexity of the design and how its to be made.
Can you post a drawing, or describe in detail what you want?
I could advise you better once I know that.

Tall,
I second Rockdoc''s suggestion. I would also add that the best craftsmen are usually busy and have other clients to attend to. There''s usually a line. Sometimes it''s a pretty long line. Pushing the speed issue may limit your selection of artists to those who otherwise don''t have much work to do. This may not be the best approach for something that you expect to be of the highest quality and to last forever.
2 Weeks is not completely out of the question but you are definitely on the borderline, especially for a complicated piece.

Bill's suggestion of a temporary plain band would reduce a lot of pre-wedding stress.
You can then search locally and online for the best possible option in comfort. Perhaps the work could be started before the wedding and you'd have it soon after.
This way you can have your cake and eat it...and then eat the one you really want to.

Oh, I''m so sorry. With two weeks time? Off the top of my head:

Darn, there''s one more but I can''t remember their name.
Caveat: I haven''t worked with either one of these.

I did exactly that & used a plain wedding band during the ceremony. Afterward I took my time looking for a eternity type diamond wedding band. You can get really inexpensive plain wedding bands in 2-3 mm sizes for like $31-$60 through the mail. It''s funny but after trying on diamond wedding bands I realize I love my plain wedding band, it really showcases the diamond.
