Where to find this band besides Zales?

[ihy138]

Hi all, I need your skills! I am in love with this band, but it's from Zales and I'm not really interested in supporting a mall store. Any thoughts on where to get a similar one? Do you think I can do better in price? Thanks, in advance.

That style is a rather typical ring of chain store operations. Most independnet jewelers or US manufacturers do not make much similar. A majority of this kind of jewelery is made in India and China and not copied here since it costs less to make them overseas.

You caouldhave one made to order here for more than you ought to spend, or possibly find one similar to this as a second hand item on a sales site like Ebay, or another competing sales site.

Thank you for your candid response. It seems like Zales might be the cheapest way to go, but I would still be overpaying because it's a chain.

Like Dave said....and notice the clarity range of I 1-2 (imperfect).

Thank you for the suggestion! I do love those bands very much.

Anyone have thoughts on a way to do this custom and not break the bank? Do you think LOGR can handle it?

The link says the item isn't available but I'm guessing it was pretty similar to what nielseel linked? If so, you could contact David Klass, [email protected]. He gave me a couple quotes on two bands I'm considering and they were really reasonable. I know he does a round/baguette w/prongs, and I asked him about a bar set baguette band, so I know he'll do bar set. His quote for the bag band was 1/2 the BN price..less actually, tho you're looking for bag/round-still, never hurts to ask!

Maybe check with ID Jewelry? They're miracle workers on small budgets.

How strange! The band is no longer on the website. It's pretty similar to those bands. It was baguettes (set to look like emerald cuts) with a halo of rounds around each set of baguettes. It was much thicker than those bands. Does anyone have suggestions with that in mind?
