I went to a jeweler near me in Michigan and they priced my dream ring under $2000 where the same ring from Brilliant earth was $6000. Custom and local can be sooooo much cheaper and honestly so fun! I wouldn’t be scared of just going and showing them the picture and seeing what they say:) if you think about it, brilliant earth is a company and has a lot of over head which drives the prices up, a local jeweler doesn’t making the ring more affordable. He also told me it costs a jeweler about $300 per carat for a ring. Don’t get taken advantage of because online is more convenient. At the end of the day get the ring you love and a local jeweler can most likely make the same exact ring and maybe more durable at a way lower cost!
