Earrings in Martini Setting

[Alice in DiamondLand]

Are there online vendors that I can buy the martini setting from? I don''t know much about earrings, though like the martini setting. I''ve heard a good way to do it is buy stones separately then have them set. Hoping to find an online vendor who can handle both or at least setting them. Is this a special kind of setting that is exclusively carried? Also wondering if there is anyone in Seattle area selling the setting. Thanks.

Alice,

Pretty much everybody can get those mountings. They are made by a company in Louisianna called Stuller Stttings www.stuller.com. Most jewelers buy from them. The issue is going to be shopping for the diamonds themselves. There are lots of dealers here who would be overjoyed to talk to you about diamonds. Use the search engine on the front page of pricescope and call one of them up.

Need one not be in the jewellery business to buy from Stuller direct?

Yes, but then you want someone in the jewelry industry to set the things as well. It's almost certain that whoever you select to do your setting work will also be able to get the mountings for a reasonable price. If you just want the parts so you can set them yourself, most of the online and storefront jewelers can buy from them and I'm sure they will be happy to assist you.

I picked out loose stones at Dirtcheapdiamonds, and they set them for me in the martini settings. I think most if not all online vendors can do this these days, as it's a popular setting.
