Alternative to Victor Canera?

[endlessfin1te]

It's weird for me to ask this question...I live in LA/OC, personally enjoy dealing with Victor and his handmade work is the best I've seen so far online.

I have purchased a Solasfera stone and am now deciding who to go for the setting. I had wanted to go with VC but his waiting time is so long (10 wks!) and his prices are the highest.

Outside of the timeless LM/SK/VC trifecta, are there any handmade designer you would recommend in Southern California? I am looking to do a three-stone with pear sides with a tiny bit of customization on prongs.

Maytal Hannah is in LA. I personally had a ring made years ago by her and it was gorgeous. There have been a few pieces by her recently on PS, just do a search. Her website is maytalhannah.com.

Good luck!

I second that Maytal may work for you. Or you can head to 23rd Street Jewelers or Single Stone.

Is Joe Escabar and Mark Broumand in LA? A few people have had stuff done by them that I have really liked. Though I don't think I have seen 3 stones, so I would want to see examples of their work to check out proportions etc. But still if either of them are local I would go check out their stores.

Also you might see high wait times with many of them as we are heading into ering season!

Joe Escobar is in Northern CA, San Jose. Sigh.. I miss the US, living in Aust. now.

I'd use Victor if time was not a problem, but Maytal is wonderful to work with and I recommend her as well.
