[hi-revs]

Thinking of popping the question in the near future.

I saw a ring at Tiffanys that i really like. Possibly could be THE ring.
But was thinking it'd be cheaper to get one made for a fraction of price that doesnt carry the world-known label.

I'd likely go with Tiffanys because its backed up by years of experience, follow up service, band quality etc.. But at $30k, i'd like to know my options are in getting that EXACT same ring made to the most extent, with possible minor alterations.

So, can anyone recommend any local fine jewellers with exceptional craftsmanship?

For this particular Tiffany's ring & setting, none of the other big name jewellery stores carries this identical ring. Theres similar. But none to my liking. Even bluenile doesnt have it.
I'm wanting to stay with a local jeweller.

p.s. for conversations sake, would you personally go with a "name brand", or "custom"?
I'm leaning on the "name brand" just because it makes ME feel better about it in years to come, but like i mentioned, i'm wanting to know what my options are.

Looking for serious replies from experience!
