Dem, sorry the Pearlman's ring didn't work out but better to get it just right, and really, you know when a band works with the other ring...I totally agree with MGR...If you love the one at 23rd Street, I'd call Ari at Single Stone and ask him if it's his setting as he actually makes a lot of stock rings for many places like Lang's and other high end shops nationwide that carry vintage and vintage style settings - and I know he makes up eternity bands for a few high end shops in West LA, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of his. I'd get the dimensions and stone grades and ask him what the same would be to make up for you. The french cuts are much harder to set apparently, and if they're not cut just right, they wont fit properly against the straight edge of the next stone. It's not like RBs where there's a little wiggle room in between round stone...The French cuts also come in teeny tiny sizes and from what I understand, Ari has his own guy who cuts custom sizes as per each job, so...yeah, it's time consuming to work with those stones. I think if the 23rd St. ring is high quality melee, that price is actually right on the money for what it is. But if the ring was made by Single Stone anyway, you can get it cheaper going directly to them. Just a thought...Cant wait to see pictures!
