PS Vendor discounts for colored stones or settings?

[AustenNut]

I''ve searched the forums and found that several vendors (WF, JA, etc) will offer PS discounts. These discounts, however, seem to limited to diamonds. Are there any vendors offering discounts on colored stones or on settings for those of us who are not interested in a diamond center stone?

Not that I have seen. Generally, diamonds are MUCH more expensive so the discount makes a lot more sense than it would for a gemstone.

If you write to Dana at Mastercutgems, he sometimes will give a discount off of the listed price. In any case, I think his colored stones prices are pretty good to begin with.

Otherwise, Artcutgems and ACStones both have regular site discounts that you apply at checkout. ACStones has everything discounted 30% during August.

Paraiba takes offers I believe, but some say their prices are hyped to begin with.

Gemline offers PSers s discount.

Thanks for the responses.

Empress, do you have the website for Gemline? When I go to gemline.com I''m not getting a gem site, nor is a quick Google search pulling it up (but it was very quick, so I may have missed it).

Also, is there a reason why settings are never discounted? After all, there are settings out there that cost more than many of the diamonds that guys are looking for in RockyTalky.
