Hi everyone,
The site is great. I''ve found it *very* informative. Anyways, I''ll dive right in. I''ve got about 2 months to get all this ring searching done. I''m looking to spend under $3k (money is an object and the proposal process involves a trip to France... ).
I''m looking for an antique (or antique style) ring. Don''t care what white metal but it''ll probably end up being white gold because of the budget. I''m looking for a simple art deco or edwardian ring. Then, I guess, depending on the ring I find, I''ll decide on a diamond depending on remaining budget and the stone size that the ring needs. Diamonds for me, are easy. I could go for a .4ct ideal cut, F, VS1/2 up to a .6-7ct, H-I, SI2. There are tons of places online with a surplus of diamonds in that range, so I''m not too worried about that. I''m more worried about finding the right ring. I''ve gone through the entire list of antique jewelry places that was posted earlier on this forum (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/links-for-settings-antique-rings-online.16601/). I''ve found a few that I like to give you a better idea of what I''m looking for (minimalist, intricate).

So, now that you know what I''m after, do you have any recommendations? Where do I go? What should I look for? I''m in downtown SF but can drive a ways if I know someone has a good selection that''s not online. Is a custom ring an option?
