Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what the most cost effective way of making something like this. I'm sure some of you know about the whole Brad Pitt and Damiani fiasco where Brad sued Damiani for selling a ring that he designed for Jennifer Anistion. I love this design and was thinking to use this style in our wedding bands. However, I've been talking to my local jeweler and they tell me it would cost 2k+ just to make it as it is best to hand fabricate the piece instead of casting it. What do you guys think? Are there are vendors or jewelers that you recommend that might be able to tackle this? I just feel 2k for this ring is too overpriced. I can understand that to buy the actual Damiani ring will cost around that price but I'm guessing the high cost is due to the name brand associated with it. Wouldn't making something like this with a local jeweler cost much less? Is my jeweler trying to overcharge or do you guys think it's a fair price?
