I am looking for ideas for custom rings, and so am going through websites looking at different ring designs. What designers would you reccomend to look at for unique and contempary designs? For example Whiteflash has some good designs to get ideas from. Who else would be good to look at?
Brian Gavin (and his blog too)
Leon Mege (artof platinum.com)
Pearlmans (lots of unique and contemporary)
Engagement Rings Direct has nice stuff in their HW and Tiffany style menus http://mc2jewels.com/jewels/rings.html some all time favorites http://www.rdgnz.com/ Here too
Dimend Scaasi
Jewels by Erica Grace (their contemporary settings are really knock outs)
Designer websites like
Vatche
Mark Patterson
Sholdt
H Levi
Um. If you are the person wearing it... have fun. If you are not the person this piece is for... don't go wild if it's a surprise. It is best to not get too creative and spend a boatload of money on settings that are outside the more conservative range. If you need help, the person wearing it is your best resource. After her are her mom, friends, sisters, cousins. And after them there is here and we will be happy to help you pick a nice setting.
