Does anyone know where I can buy a ring just like this in USA? The site above is an Australian site and they won't sell me the ring without the diamonds unless I go to Aussieville. I'm looking for a *setting only* as I have the diamonds. If need be, I'd take a ring as close as possible to the one shown above. I'm also wondering if a jeweler could copy the photo and duplicate. Thanks much.

Yes, a good jeweler will be able to replacate the ring and readiness for your diamonds based on 1. the picture, and to the sizes and cuts of your diamonds.

Call and email a few jewelers near you asking about it and emailing them the pic... I think you'll find them quite talkative about what they can do for you.

Fantastic Rick!! Thanks a lot!

You are welcome.

I guess you won't have a problem finding someone who says they can do it. The real work will be getting it done well for a reasonable price.

Yes, Rick. If I had a friend's ring to take them, they could just do a casting of it that way. <sigh> I've begun doing as you suggested by contacting some local jewelers e-mail, but haven't heard back as yet. I'm also wondering if this isn't all that unique of a setting and they might know of someone who has something super close that's cheaper than building a new ring. For some reason that web address I posted doesn't work so I'll add it again for anyone interested. Thanks.

Rats. It's still didn't come through right to the forum. Last try then I give up.

Strange. The link worked for me when you first posted, but not now.

I wonder if they sold it and removed it from the site.

Why on earth would that ring cost $3000 American?! The total weight is only 1 carat... with that many diamonds, if you do the math, they are very small. Small diamonds like that are cheap and can be found just about anywhere! Maybe 18k gold is more expensive, don't know... Never bought 18k before.

Frankly, I thought the same thing myself... but since you didn't mention the value, I figured money wasn't an issue.

You might be better off taking your diamonds to the local jewelers and say "what can you make for me in which to put these diamonds?" Show them the picture so they know what you like.

Rely on their expertise to propose some things to you. Letting them do something they can come up with on their own (and my guess is, something they've done before) will probably be significantly cheaper than trying to make exactly what you tell them you want. Know what I mean?

I like your idea(s). Thanks, Rick!
