hi there! i have a few rings in mind that i want to have made, but in cz instead of diamonds and semi precious stones.

do you know someone sells something similar or who can create something like this for me?
it's so hard to weed through everything on etsy! i haven't been able to find exactly what i want, so i'd like to request a custom order.
thanks!

You can get stacking rings pretty much everywhere. Etsy would be pretty expensive for this sort of thing. Just google Stacking Eternity Bands.

Here are some on QVC or these if you prefer.

Then, there's Ross-Simon, where you can get these, or these,

These are at Bling Jewelry.

Overstock
certainly has them.

And for the one on top, this Kellinsilver ring is pretty close.

My .02 but Etsy is probably going to be WAY more expensive, and the channel settings are tricky.

Response by poster: thanks! none of these are quite what i'm looking for, but some good places to look and search terms!

Best answer: agree that these will be much less expensive if you can find something that you like readymade.

These look a little closer to what you linked to, except for the top one. Are you committed to gold metal? It's definitely easier to find these in silver.

This Etsy seller does CZ bands in various metals and might be able to do some colored czs for you.

I don't have any experience with either of those sellers.

I'm not a jewelry expert by any means (having misplaced my wedding ring, the only jewelry I wore with any regularity, last year and not replaced it) but I don't think the ones you linked to are channel-set--each stone has its own setting. You might try including "micro-pave" in your search terms along with "stackable" and "eternity ring".

Really, if you're dead set on getting something custom I'd look for stackable bands in a similar style on Etsy, then see if the seller offers custom orders, then message them and ask. However, as noted, a custom order like this is likely to be expensive. I've been shopping around for a replacement wedding band, and this peridot and gold band seems similar to the style you linked.

You can see though, just the one band is $235. Even if you're asking for CZs rather than real stones and even if you want coated sterling to get the gold effect, I still think it will be really expensive due to the labor involved. However the only way to find out is to ask around.

So, find listings that are similar in style, then below the image it should say "Request a custom order" if they take custom orders, then it's a message box and you can include an attachment. Also, check Ebay for similarly styled bands with CZs.

Edit: search terms can include - pave, micro pave, eternity, half eternity, channel, wedding band, anniversary band, stackable

Another search term I haven't seen listed is "ring guards".
