Engraving Patterns?

[sydneycasandra]

Help! I''ve got to have the pattern for my ering and wb picked out by THURSDAY morning. I''ve already decided the center stone, side stones, and general layout of the ring, I just now have to let him know what pattern to engrave. I''ve scoured the internet and all the usual suspects (faycullen, pearlmans, antiqueengagementrings, jewerly expert, estatediamondjewelry, tacori, etc.) but can''t seem to find anything much outside the usual wheat or scroll patterns, with small variations. Also, the pictures are rarely close enough to the engraving to see what it really looks like. I''d like something vaguely traditional, but also not boring, perhaps a bit art deco. (The ring is platinum with a 2.?? (only my FI knows at this point) center radiant flanked by 0.?? brilliant-cut traps, set in a semi-bezel, and with some ornate detailing, and with a "headlight" princess cut on the front, tipped on its point.) Kind of a clashing of traditional, with the engraving and such, but then with some modern touches like the semibezel. ANYWAY, the point is here that I need an engraving pattern, NOW! Any ideas where I can find lots of patterns like this to choose from, other than your wheat/scroll/flowers? Perhaps something exotic even? Any suggestions would be great! Also, the wedding band will most likely be simply engraved platinum, so this pattern will be quite visible.

Thanks so much in advance, I''m worried sick over this silly detail!

do a lot of engraving on their rings you may find some ideas there. Look under Client Previews. If you click on the pictures individually you can see an enlarged view. Near the foot of the client previews there is also a link for Custom Gallery.
