Hello,

I love this ring but the price is way too high for me and I’m not too keen on the Liberty stamp on it. Does anyone know of a similar style ring not essentially peridot.

Thank you I’m advance.

If you google cabochon+cocktail ring there are loads, try etsy too

Am a jeweller. It's quite a lot of gold so the price isn't terrible imo - depending on budget I'd maybe look at a plated option. Quite a simple ring to make using wax carving techniques but metal weight is significant for this design.

There's a beautiful Ruby vintage one on Etsy at the moment. Have a google.

This one's quite nice, if you Google cabachon peridot/jade/prehnite statement/cocktail ring it gives you loads of options.

It's only 9ct gold and that stone isn't expensive. Agree you can get cheaper.

Secondhand options in this style will be the way of paying for not much more than the metal weight and stone value (rather than pricing in the work of the jeweller too). But there's a significant difference between the metal weight in the liberty option and the example that pinkywoo posted. I made a similar ring to the Liberty one (if anything, smaller and lighter) in sterling and it came out at about 7.5g, in 9ct gold that's about £170 of casting grain before you begin to account for the stone and the cost and time of making it which is usually most of the cost in jewellery. Hence why the price doesn't look too bad to me. I definitely think you could pick up something in this style from eBay for not much more than the metal cost though.

Here's a smaller option, similar style:

You could set up an alert on thesaleroom website and it will send you an email everytime a ring comes up for auction. They have 3 pages of cabochon rings at the moment although none are that similar to the Liberty one.

Lovely ring... but hate the branding on the side too. Could you ask if you could order it without that? Or find out the cost of polishing it out?

This one is similar.

Wiennetta that's a great find, lovely ring!

Another jeweller here and I would imagine there is a big mark up on liberty jewellery.
It might be worth enquiring with an independent jeweller to see if they could source a peridot like that as @ferretface says its a fairly simple design to make (and then would not have the branding on it) .
I've no idea what a hydrothermal peridot costs but normal ones are fairly inexpensive.

Couple of much cheaper ideas

The stone in the Liberty ring is pretty but it's lab grown so cost would be inexpensive.

This cocktail ring features a hydrothermal peridot cabochon – a vividly coloured stone that’s created through the reproduction of a natural crystallisation process in a lab.

Check out Shyla Jewellery, beautiful costume rings, I think they sell at Liberty too.
