I’m trying to figure out if any of the ladies on this forum have actually gone to Monica Sablic for a wedding ring? If you did, were you actually happy with how things turned out?
I’m currently torn between her and Arileo. I’ve got my own gut feeling about it (obviously, I’m totally open to hearing your suggestions/feedback/critiques), but I’d love to know which of these two studios I should prioritize? I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews for Arileo, but then again, Monica’s portfolio looks pretty killer too... either way, I’ll take any info you guys can throw at me!

If I'm reading you right, you basically want something custom-made based on your own design, which means you didn't see this specific dress in their current collections, right?!
In my opinion, if that's the case, you'd probably be better off finding a talented local seamstress to whip it up for you rather than heading to a high-end fashion house. When you ask for something outside of their established lines, they tend to charge a premium because it's bespoke work, so you could easily end up dropping an extra thousand bucks just because you wanted something unique.
Now, if you actually saw something you liked at one of their shops but just wanted to tweak a tiny detail, that's a whole different story. From what I've gathered, people rave about Arileo—they're pros and they work fast. As for Monica, I haven't heard much, though nothing bad either; it just seems like fewer people go to her.🙂
