Durnell Jewelry? Anyone but Pearlmans sell it?

[nebe]

Does anyone other than Pearlmans sell Bridget Durnell jewelry?

I can''t find anything through google and I really don''t like the pictures that Pearlmans has. I wanted to find more photos of the Providence Collection Solitaire but no one in SMTR seems to have anything by Durnell.


Help?

Pearlman''s is the only place I have ever seen it. I don''t think I''ve ever seen a ring posted on here by that designer.

Bummer, I really love that ring!! But I definitely don''t want to go about spending almost $3000 on a setting from one picture!

wow, i just discovered Durnell today on Pearlman''s site and fell hard for this setting (hope it attached). googled it and couldn''t find anything on the designer.

From what intel I can gather, Bridget Durnell is a new designer working out of a studio in Sarasota. That might make it a lot more difficult to find her designs. Perhaps Pearlmans is the *only* store currently carrying her line, which is brand new. And gorgeous!!

I''m sure Pearlmans would be happy to take additional pictures for you. They will even send settings out to be viewed in person if you are really interested. I hadn''t heard of her until she popped up on Pearlmans site. Best thing to do would be to just email Bill and I''m sure he''d provide you with whatever info you wanted to know...

We have a LOT of fabulous vendors on here.

But I have to tell you that Bill Pearlman is really the best of the best, IMO. For 3 years I have been bugging that poor man about every setting he's posted that I've even moderately been interested in by any designer he carries, whether or not it's a setting on his site.

His patience, helpfulness and understanding were unbelievable. He has offered to send rings THAT HE DID NOT HAVE IN HIS STOCK out for me to look at, once he special ordered them in on memo. He sent me alternate photos of rings, querried designers on possible changes to rings.

All of it, and with the nicest, most considerate service you can imagine.

Now I could praise many of the vendors on here, since I bugged all of them during my setting quest... and have praised them for their above and beyond service.

But honestly, Bill was the one (poor man) that I bugged the most, and the most consistently.. and that's why I can honestly say, he's the best of the best.

ETA: And when I finally decided to have a ring custom designed, his only request was that I send him some nice photos so he could see the finished ring. That's class.

That is the single greatest sentence ever.

Bridget''s studio is in California. She was formally a designer with Michael Beaudry which says a lot about her work. All handmade pieces.

The Durnell ones are wonderful! So classy, yet different. Reminds me of these a bit http://www.krikawa.com/rings/engagement-rings/unique-engagement-rings.htm
