After many hours of surfing to diamonds and settings, my b/f and I went to EE Robbins yesterday. What fun! I fell in love with the Ritani Endless Love solitaire setting. After researching online, it seems it might be difficult to buy the setting and provide the stone, but have read conflicting messages. Please shed light on the following:
1. Where can you buy just the setting? I’ve read that Ritani won’t let you provide your own diamond, that the diamond needs to have certain specs, that they will only do it if you provide the stone on an existing setting and I am wondering what the deal is. I’ve read thus far that Bailey Banks, Finks, and Soloman Brothers are possibilities for having this done. Others?
2.How about the custom route? The Ritani was so incredibly beautiful I wonder if a copy could really recreate it. How do you find a person to do custom jewelry? Recommendations for someone in the Seattle vicinity?
3. What other designers do a similar setting to Endless Love? I especially loved the thinness of the band, how the diamond is mounted and the halo of diamonds around the diamond.
Thanks in advance for any info you can give us on the above!
