Hi everyone,

I'm in the market for an engagement ring; my girlfriend likes engraved settings like these Tacoris:

http://www.tacori.com/Engagement-Rings/10018

So, my question is -- given how much the Tacori brand would add to the cost, is it worth it to go custom with LM/SK/VC, etc? I know that people typically look to them for pave/halo settings, but I don't know if they (or any other vendors out there) are really good at engraved settings.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions!!! :) We've looked around, but so far we haven't found any other sleek/elegant engraved settings other than from Tacori.
 
Victor does beautiful engraving but I'm not sure he is priced any less than Tacori :))
 
Thanks for the input, mrssalvo! :) Do you (or anyone else) know about the estimated cost? I think she might be interested in something custom/handmade (as opposed to the Tacori), but I don't know how much Victor would charge for engraved pieces - and I'm always reluctant to ask for quotes when I'm not sure if I'll be going that route (though perhaps that is just me being silly).
 
Just email Victor a picture for some reference and ask him, he's very approachable and easygoing. You are by no means commited to him by just asking for a quote and he wouldn't have an expectation of such.
You're just exploring your options
 
Maplefemme, thanks for the input! :)

Anytime, come back and let us know how everything goes, whatever you choose :wavey:
 
I would send the pics to ERD, VC and JBEG and get quotes from all of them. I believe any of them would do a beautiful job, but I agree with Mrs. Salvo, VC may not be any more affordable than Tacori. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
 
Sparkly, I will look into ERD and JBEG!

Thanks for the advice, everyone -- I'm not quite ready to buy yet because I'm still saving up the money to get her the perfect ring :) but I will be back to show you all how it turns out. Thanks again!
