Want custom Pink/Rose gold...who will do this?

[Sparkles22]

I am thinking I want a pink/rose gold 14kt pipe cut 3mm band with some hammerset stones

Does rose gold come in 14kt?

Can square shapes me hammerset?

Who does custom work in rose gold?


Thanks!!!

Also if anyone know an approx cost on labor and materials (obviously stones will make a diff, so price without)??

Thanks again!

Rose gold does come in 14kt, and you can hammer set square stones.

Diamonds by Lauren has been doing a TON of work recently in pink, rose and green gold. I''d give them a call and see if they could do something like that.

Rose gold is available in 14k.

Square stones can be hammer set, I assume you are referring to a bezel style setting which is a rim of metal set around the perimeter of the stone.

There are several designers here on PS who are capable of completing this type of project for you.

A better description of what you desire is needed for anybody to work up an estimate for you, for instance, how many square set stones do you want set in the ring and in what design? Perhaps you can post a sketch.

What size do you want the square stones to be?

What type of gem are the square stones?

I would call Greenlake Jewelers in Seattle. They are fabulous, their prices are reasonable, and they work in rose gold.

Etienne Perret would also be another option...but probably a lot more expensive!

ETA: Here is Greenlake's website: http://www.gljw.com/

I don't have a sketch, but I am looking to do 4 princess hammer set stones (kite/star set). I don't know what size, since the band I want to be 3mm probably not too big. I want it to have a brushed finish... Kind of like this one, but all rose gold, and 4 kite set diamonds in a 3mm band:


ETA: I want the inside engraved with a date

Great thank you! Their site is user friendly for custom also... very nice!

Most jewelers should be able to do this project. I would call and get quotes from WF, pearlamans, wink, gog, knoxjewelers.biz, etc.

+1 on Greenlake. If you want a recommendation on a designer, ask to speak with Melissa "T.", there are 2 Melissa's. She was excellent. Good luck.

Are their any other internet friendly custom jewelers that do beautiful work and can do most everything via e-mail/online besides Greenlake? I've heard WF, ERD, etc, but do they do a lot of stuff via the internet/e-mail? I am wondering because I am looking at setting diamonds flush in a band and the max diamond size they are saying they can set (in a 3mm band) seems a little on the small side, but it may just be me, since this will be my first custom piece

. I just was wondering if others that do custom are as easy to work with as Greenlake has been so far. I work a lot right now, so my schedule doesn't allow for a lot of phone time, but I am online a lot at one of my jobs, so that would be the easiest.

Thanks for your help everyone!!!

Hi Sparkels22,

You can try my Jeweler; he is located just north of Denver and does a lot of custom work through email. He is wonderful to work with, and has done a lot of custom pieces for me. I have a rose gold ring with hammer set colored diamonds that I purchased from him and I love it. Anyway his name is Jay Albrecht and his web site is:

Hope this helps!

That is terrific! Thank you! I live in CO but that will be quite the drive for me, but if he does a lot through e-mail that would be great! And you have something similiar to what I am looking to do

Do you have any pictures? Would you mind sharing the details (width of the band/stone size)? How long did it take for him to complete the project?

THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!

ETA: Was his prices reasonable?

 

[dolphingirl22]

I can take a few pictures. I didnt have it made for me, it was something that he made and put out in his case. Because of that I''m not sure of the stone size, but the band is about 3mm. His prices are very reasonable, especially for custom work. And again he is so down to earth and very easy to work with. Thats why we keep going back to him.

I checked out his website and it looks like he does really great work. I emailed him for a ballpark estimate to see if it would be doable and also as to what size diamonds he would be able to set... so hopefully that will be okay and he''ll reply.

What other custom work has he done for you? I''m glad he is down to earth. I am sure I will have more projects to make in the future

, so I am hoping to establish some sort of relationship with a custom jeweler.... if only he was "local".... but if all can be done online, then all is well

Thanks again!

 

[Sparkles22]

That is really pretty!!! Thank you for posting pictures!!!!!!

 

[dolphingirl22]

And here is a thread a did a while ago with some of his custom stuff

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/j-albrecht-fine-jewelry-custom-pieces.60273/


I''m sure you will like him. He is really quick about replying to his email, I wouldnt be suprised if you heard from him today. Where are you in CO? I''m in the very north part of Westminster, by Broomfield.

Wow those pieces all look really well made! They are so beautiful! I love the sapphire/diamond earrngs! You weren''t kidding when you said he''s made some custom pieces for you

I am getting really excited I hope I hear from him today

. Did he source the stones for you? I saw some beautiful pieces on his site and one of the deep pink sapphires he had made my heart go pitter patter. So I also requested a quote for a white gold band with deep pink sapphires in it...

I''m in the Springs, so about 1.5 hours from Denver...

 

[dolphingirl22]

Thank you so much. He brought in all of the stones except for my asscher. I found it online and it was a great deal, so we got it. If I wouldnt have found that one I would have had Jay bring in stones for me. I''m just very impulsive
