Help finding an art deco diamond engagement ring

[Dublinpaul]

Hi guys, I hope you can help.

I got engaged to my girlfriend yesterday and she is looking for an original art deco ring. We are based in Dublin so may have to buy online, can people please recommend a reputable site or online store where we could buy one ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul.

What kind of a budget? I love single stone and Langs antiques but they are both pretty pricey!

I would love to help you find an engagement ring. Can you give us an idea of your budget, the shape stone your FI is looking for and an idea of her sense of style and we an make some suggestions.

A few places that you can browse:

Thanks Yennyfire and Chupiechow.

The budget has an absolute max of €5k, ideally under 4k if possible. My OH has spotted a few online but they are on a site called Faycullen.com which has terrible reviews online hence why I'm here.

So I'm really just looking for reputable sites but I've included a link of the style she likes, many thanks.

There's also an antique jewellery district in London, Hatton Garden, which might be worth a flight over for a look as well as some of the stores that are along Portobello Market. I don't know Dublin well enough to know where to buy there, wish I did!

I wasn't sure if you listed your budget in USD or EUR, so forgive me if any of these are over budget. If you're willing to consider eBay, here are a few that may fit the bill with sellers who have good reputations:

Another company I know of in England. Never been there but two friends have bought rings there and they were friendly when we were shopping and called them about a ring: http://www.friarhouse.com/
