Knockoff versions of a very pretty, very expensive ring that I covet?
March 21, 2019 9:36 PM Subscribe
I have found the ring of my dreams, a Le Vian Chocolate Ombre with 1/2 ct diamonds and 14k gold. It costs $$$. I am indifferent to having actual diamonds. I've been Googling for cheaper knockoffs of the basic design/colors in crystal or some cheaper stone, or vermeil instead of gold, and having no luck. Does anyone have pointers to less expensive rings with this general colorway/appearance? Thanks!
Best answer: Ombre rings are all over Etsy and makers like this one do custom orders.

Best answer: Have David Class ($$) or Tianyu or some other Chinese place ($) make this for you out of moissanite?

You could put two of these together and be at half the price.

Best answer: I have a chocolate sapphire and it's way less expensive than a similar diamond and no one can tell the difference.
