Ritani wedding band

[ilovethiswebsite]

Does anyone know a company that makes wedding bands that look similar to the Ritani endless love wedding band? I need platinum but the prices (with the CAN exchange) are ridiculous so it would cost 2600$ per band (for .23 carats of diamonds)! Just wanted to see if there were any other options out there.

I would have a look at the daniel k rings pearlmans has in their closeout section

Tacori lists this one starting at $1120 on their website

and this one at $1210

Although, I''m not sure how high it would go with platinum. Its worth a shot

Israel Rose website has some diamond/platinum bands for less than $1000.

Let''s see if my attaching skills can make one magically appear:

Thanks everyone!

It''s great that the pearlman''s ring is on sale... I wonder how much shipping and duty would be though... With the exchange rate it might now be that great of a savings in the end...

Mine are just like that!

I got them made by Mark at ERD and they were MUCH better priced than Ritani!

If you search my topics, you can find the pics!

Very beautiful! They are exactly what I need but I would want them sans milgrain and with smaller diamonds (I think the one on his site says .43 carats of diamonds but to match my ering I would need .23). I am going to email him and see what he says.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

Mine didn''t have milgrain. Here - let me post a picture.

Wow very nice! Yeah I would need something exactly like that but with smaller diamonds (.23 carats). Who would of thunk a girl would be asking for SMALLER diamonds. hahaha.

im so glad you started this...
i have the classic ritani princess cut and i''d like to get the matching band too. if you get one or find one that looks just like the ritani, please let me know where. and also, if you dont mind how much approx? i have a wedding ring and it looks alright to me, i love it, but i think the ritani would look amazing. ya know?
but it is outrageously priced. i''d like it to be platinum. my current white gold wedding ring is turning a shade towards the gold color. its ever so slight, but i notice it. so i wanna stick with the platinum. unless palladium would work... does the palladium turn color?

Hi Trishy!

I looked around a bit... Not much to be honest. I contacted Mark at ERD and he could make something similar for a great price (I think I was quoted under 1500), but in the end I went with Ritani. I decided to get palladium as opposed to platinum because I wanted two bands and the price per band was just too high... I contacted Ritani and asked if their palladium would match my platinum e-ring. The reason I asked is because I read up on palladium and apparently different mixes of alloys can change the color, but the purest forms oftern are an exact match to platinum. Anyway - so they said it would match exactly and they tried asking a few people in the head office to tell the different and no one could! Also - because the band is msotly diamonds there isn't much metal showing anyway. Long story short - I decided to stick with Ritani to ensure an exact match to my e-ring - but I compensated for the price by getting palladium. Apparently palladium has similar properties to platinum in that is never fades and it ages the same way. The only different really is that it is much lighter in weight and it is less rare on the market, hence the lower price. It is in the same family as platinum though - and virtually there is little difference. I think up until a few years ago it was even more valuable than platinum! Anyway - I can keep you posted if you like. I should be getting my rings in a month or so and I will post pics then, and let you know about the color match

 

[trishy]

thank you so much for th response. oh yes please, definately keep me informed, i cant wait to see pics for sure. i think i too will stick with ritani, i may be hypercritical of even the best replica. [i mean this is our wedding set, right? we are woth it!!

so i dont wanna mess around and end up with buyers remorse, as that would just cost me even more money, when i end up buying ritani in the long run] so as long as it takes i will wait.

i know it might seem shallow, but i really like saying, "its a ritani" it makes me feel spoiled. so even if i have to wait a little longer to save up, it''ll be worth the wait and i''ll adore it that much more. if you see the thread on my rings, and the story behind the wedding bands my hubby and i got married with, you''ll see what i mean.

let me give you the link to the thread on my story, [you gotta read where the original are from]...

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/which-square-cut-and-show-me-lavender-hue-pics.101704/

to say the least our original rings will always mean more to us. monetarily they arent worth much, but sentimentially, they are priceless and irreplaceable. we were ring shopping all the time prior to getting married, i had the ritani picked out for YEARS!!!

i was ecstatic when i got it. to be honest i still am. *sighs*
now for the matching band.
then the diamond upgrade...

I am really relieved to see you went with the Ritani bands! I was reading through the thread thinking "Oh, no! Don''t try to get someone to copy Ritani because it will be very hard to get them to match exactly!" Those rings have the most perfect little prongs and I think you need the ones that are an exact match. I doubt anyone would ever know the difference in platinum and palladium, although the price of platinum is so low now that I question why they''d cost much more than the others.
