Cant find anything close to to Tiffany Novo Ring Please Help

[MattyB5576]

My girlfriend really likes the ring and setting for the Tiffany Novo ring. Obviously i can''t afford to buy it at Tiffany no matter how much i love her and she understands that. I am just having a heck of a time finding one similar to it. I have sen the replica at excel diamonds but am not sold on it. Also if I were to buy a seperate diamond and ring then who could I have mount it for me? Anyone know where i can get one very similar to this ring with the 4 prong setting etc.
thanks,
MB

What''s wrong with the Excel replica? It looks pretty darn close to me. What part of the Novo are you most concerned about? The cut of the center stone? The shape of the basket? The way the side diamonds are set?

Neatfreak''s ritani setting is VERY similar, when we were in Tiffany''s the girl thought hers was a Novo. And actually when we did a side by side comparision the Ritiani was much nicer, especially the head.

Hehe...yes the Ritani endless love setting is VERY close. And if you throw a square H&A stone in there (Good Old Gold sells them), it would look almost exactly like it but a bit more delicate IMO.

I would go this route too. do keep in mind the square hearts and arrows stone will still have a premuium attached so finding a non-branded cushion might be better. Goodoldgold and pearlmans both carry the Ritani line and both can easily help you find a cushion. I'd call each of them up, give them your budget and see what they can do. pearlmans can source the daniel k cusions, which is what I have a I adore it and Jon has some amazing cushions on his site so either would be an excellent choice.

I really love that setting and I love the Ritani! I think it looks better too...

I also looooove the Ritani. It''s such a well made, elegant setting but the diamond melee in the band looks a bit smaller than the Novo. You might want to consider a custom Leon Mege setting like this, but without the halo: http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=274

I think the excel diamond does a good job at replicating it. I am just am not sure if I personzlly lie the thickness of the band and the larger crown cutouts on the basket. Other then that the band and everyhting is beautiful

You won''t find anything closer than Excel''s replica. My fiancee and I easily fooled the Tiffany sales reps with ours:

Where can I find a link to this Ritiani ring?

Simply amazing! You''re right, it''s so close that anybody could mistake it as the actual Novo ring.

Here''s a side by side comparison of the difference between the setting of the Ritani Endless Love micropave solitare (available through any Ritani dealer) and the Novo. Novo is one top. Ritani is below. Teetee has a square hearts and arrows cushion (closest to Novo Cushion) and the Ritani setting and it''s stunning. Neatfreak has the Ritani with a non-branded but Modern Brilliant cushion. Both look amazing.
