Where to buy small OMCs?

[robainya]

So many questions... I was just given a vintage e-ring with old mine cut stones (see pic below). I would like to have a wedding band made to match. Can anyone advise me as to how/where to have the ring made and/or how to find small (.02 ct) OMCs to match? Also, how much might this cost me? The ring is platinum.

Most jewelers will have sources to acquire them, but if you are looking for an on line source you wont go wrong by contacting David Atlass right here on PriceScope. He either has the stones or knows where to get them. For many years he was the source for many of us jewelers. He passed off a large part of that to a gentleman in New York who I have also dealt with. They are still great friends and admirers of one another, so if David does not have them he can call his friend and get them for you.

I''m not sure where to find tiny OMC''s ... but I would suggest that you also might consider a filigree platinum wedding band. I love the mix/match look of vintage rings & other vintage-like rings. In fact, my sister is currently wearing two family filigree wedding bands as her "right-hand ring" ... and they look lovely!

I''ll look & see if I can post examples of what I''m describing. I LOVE YOUR RING as is (saw your re-cut thread).

Another possible source might be www.singlestone.com ...I know they specialize in antique cut diamonds, and also design antique reproductions..

They could very probably design a band to go exactly with your treasure, if you wanted to go that route..

If you want the band to match the ring exactly, you should use single-cut stones instead of OECs or OMCs. The little stones channel set alongside the center stone in your engagement ring are probably single cuts. They have fewer facets than full-cut round brilliants (which include OECs as well as modern brilliants).

That was a popular style in the 1930s, so if you don't mind the idea of wearing a wedding ring with history, you could probably find an antique that matches your engagement ring well. And there may even be some still in production somewhere. It's a classic.
