The fiance and I were on a mission to get a good deal on our wedding rings. ?Being that we think we’re pretty savvy we headed to the jewelry district to find such deals. ?My fiance gave me a gorgeous antique diamond engagement ring. ?Unfortunately, such a beautiful ring would require a custom wedding band. ?Custom anything in the bridal world usually translates to expensive. ?We originally went to Icing on the Ring. ?The quote for my white gold engraved wedding band with no diamonds was more than double what we actually paid at Modern Design. ?To make a custom band I had to leave my ring for week so that a wax mold could be made. The can make the mold in as little as one business day during the week. ? My fiance also had his band custom made, as the tungsten carbide ring he wanted was not available in his size. ?It took a total of 3 weeks to get both bands made. ?When we picked up the bands I was more than satisfied with my ring. ?The detail and craftsmanship required to make the band was amazing. ?The pictures I posted don’t do it justice. ?I highly recommend going to Modern Design. ?The staff is super friendly. ?They also validate parking so make sure you check out their website to get directions on how to get the the Pershing Square parking. I will definitely be sending anyone in search of quality jewelry at a good price.
We met Eric and Modern Design at a bridal expo in Pasadena. ?He was very welcoming and answered all our questions. ?We made sure to save his info if/when we decided to use Modern Design for our wedding ring.Fast forward about a month, we headed to downtown on a Saturday. ?My fianc��e and I had no idea what we wanted exactly. ?We looked at a lot of samples over the span of about 15 minutes. ?Eventually in looking at all the different options a lightbulb went off in my fianc��es mind, she remembered a wonderful configuration that her mom had at one point and always liked it.She asked if we could have two accompanying bands to go along with a simple single elevated stone main ring. ?Eric suggested that we “jacket” the two outer bands. WHOA, awesome! ?Erics suggestions were well received and at no point did Eric ever say, I can’t or won’t to anything.Yesterday we picked up our ring and its amazing. ?Exactly what we wanted it to be. ?Eric and Ike were amazingly courteous and professional. And even included us in the process of setting our main stone, doing a finish polish, cleaning and appraising.I highly recommend them because of their approachability. ?They will not sell you on their goods, they help you decide what you want and make sure that you are happy with it. ?They are located on the 7th floor well away from the craziness of the jewelry marts down below.Another plus is all their jewelry is handcrafted on the premises. ?Really neat knowing that skilled craftsmen built our custom ring from basic raw materials ONSITE! ?A tradition not lost on us but perhaps lost in the mass market.We were so impressed that rather than turning in the original engagement ring for the value of the gold, we decided to keep it and get it resized, polished, restoned (with a sapphire) and replated (white gold needs rhodium plating to help maintain the “white” look, when it wears it begins to look a little off white).Can’t wait for our next amazing experience with Modern Design!
