Anything out there like Wellendorff rings at non-brain damage money?

[alkemyst]

Got to look at some Wellendorff rings and they are really cool...however; they are targetted at those making 7 figures as even the simple bands are $13,000 and most are in the $20-50k range.

Tried doing some searching and came up with nothing.

Those are gorgeous rings.

These for wedding bands, or just general use?

Just get a Rolex or something.

Those look nice. They look like something my mom would love. Not intended as an insult; my mom has good taste, she just likes colorful stuff like that.

You'd think someone would want to make similar jewelry out of non-precious metals and stones and sell them for a more reasonable price. A lot of women are practical and prefer big sparkle over big price tags.

 

[vi edit]

It's certainly not the same, but Mokume rings are very interesting and much more reasonable.

They look like something the Ghost of Christmas Past would wear.

Wellendorff makes general jewelry as well. It's got a major markup way over the value of the metals/materials they use.

yeah...but at the same time I don't believe in using anything non-precious for a wedding/engagement as it makes it too easy to have no skin in the game.

So looking around the the site in Alke's first post I foind the 24ct gold plated Mac Pro. Okay, I get that. Then I read this: 24k Gold Plating (Type III 99.9% purity) with polyurethane clear coat. Who the hell covers 24k gold in plastic?

Because it's gold plated and will protect that thin layer of gold.

If you haven't already, try googling Wellendorff replica rings or knockoffs.

I saw a couple of places that seem to sell them, but I don't care to search through their pages and pages of inventory to find ones like you posted.

most of the sites that came up where virus laden and didn't show rings so I gave up.

...virus laden and didn't show rings so I gave up.

That sounds like something your current ex-wife to be will be saying to one of her girlfriends about you in a couple years.

I think this is my new sig.

Wow, those are gaudy.

 

[amish]

I looked into one of these for my wife. I really liked their designs until I saw the price tag that went along with it.
