Ritani Endless Love-custom made?

[shmayna]

Hi All,

I love the Ritani endless love ring (round cut) and I am wondering if it is easy to replicate. I would alter the setting a little but was wondering if yuou know how much it would be to do a custom ring like this in white gold with a 1 carat center stone? We are planning on getting the stone separately. Thanks! I know my boyfriend cannot spend $7000 on a ring...so I''m looking for cheaper options!

Thanks!

The Ritani style is very popular and many vendors carry stock settings that are similar. are you wanting the one with the halo?
Whiteflash makes this in WG for $1475

here's the bezal style

thanks for your reply! I really like the bezel cut better than the halo. I am just trying to figure out how much it would be with a 1.0 carat average diamond.

well, i''d start with figuring out your budget. That style setting will run around $1500. There are a bunch of factors that affect the price of a stone, some are willing to sacrifice color and clarity for size? What are your priorities? If you give us a budget we can help you find a stone that will fit

budget is about $5,000 or so.

you have a very nice budget to work with. How set are you on hitting the 1 carat mark.
I found this one at Whiteflash.

it's $3280 for an I VS2..that would leave you enough for the setting. If you are set on a 1 carat, the cost will come close to your budget. you might think about putting as much as you can towards the stone and putting it in a simple solitaire setting and saving up to upgrade the setting later
