If you wanted this ring replicated, who would you use?

Hello, I am dreaming of resetting my 1.58 RB diamond with 10 x 10 pt RB diamonds in a floral cluster setting similar to the rings in the his blog:

I want the metal work to be delicate platinum.

Who would be your go-to jeweler for this? I am close enough to NYC to deliver to an NY jeweler.

Thanks!

Steven Kirsch in NY: handforged, high quality, but also a relatively high pricing

David Klass in LA: mostly casted I believe. Great pricing. You would have to ship your stone though

I've had a cluster made by Steven Kirsch, and I'm having a cluster made by David Klass. My vote would be definitely David Klass.

David Klass is the go-to jeweller for many PSers because of quality and pricing. You may find many examples of his work here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/show-us-your-david-klass-bling.196654/page-25
@mrs-b has some beautiful pieces from him! Look at her threads for stunning examples. David can help you with shipping and he is used to working with long distance customers. I have worked several times with him and I live in Europe.

Thank you for the replies! I will look into both jewelers!

I used DK for my fiancee's ring and was also very pleased. Great work and excellent pricing. Also I was half way across the country and did shipping as well, although I bought a new stone from BGD and had shipped there.

Another vote for Steven Kirsch and DK. Steven did a gorgeous chunky halo for a friend of mine and his pricing was very competitive for halo & plain shank setting. He is also a pleasure to work with, but so is DK. Both are great options!
