Looking for recommended jeweler in Richmond, Virginia

[FinewaterGems]

Hello All. My nephew in Richmond VA just received a nice sapphire and is looking for a good jeweler to purchase a stock ring setting and have it set. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Many thanks,
Gary

Would he be willing to drive to Falls Church (about 100 miles)? One of the Vietnamese jewelers is retiring and has some great prices on 18kt stock settings.

Do you mind sharing the name of the vendor? I live within a reasonable driving distance of Falls Church.

I dont mind privately. But since its a small shop without a website, not sure I should post publicly without permission. I can try to reach you through LT tonight if that works.

Hitting the road and will need to unpack the receipts..but to get an idea, the sunstone settingni posted in the "i've got it in gold" thread was $400 and is 18k...i went back for another setting and she started dropping prices more. I wish I had my gemstones with me :sigh:

There's a place on Cary St, JSI, about mid Carytown. They do trade work, but do have a small public showroom. From what I remember they are mostly VCU fine arts alums and they should be able to set him up just fine!

I don't know if you tried to contact me via LT, but maybe try DB - I think the email system works better.
