Sally is expensive in white gold and I know Pal doesn't care for white gold much either. But he would do any other metal as would Sally. Pal is doing my new ring for me - I'll post photos as he moves along on it. If you connect with Pal, let him know I sent you! I'd love for him to get some PS business. A designer can't copy the design exactly, but they can make slight modifications. I'd connect the little hooks to the shank in order to keep them from snagging on things.

MakingTheGrade Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,466 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2009	Actually, I don't think sally's white gold prices are too bad. My 14k white gold lotus setting was 170$, which isn't exorbant. I've been working with Kyleanne metals lately and she's been great, and has very good prices for white gold as well. Don't know if she'd be up to the challenge, but you could ask.

CharmyPoo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,579 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/10/2004	I don't know what is going on with PS lately. It keeps giving me errors and eating my posts. Anyways, Sally can definetly make this setting - she showed me something close that she made. Problem is that she quoted me in the high 300s for WG which is more than what I want to spend for this. Sudlow quoted me in the low 100s for silver. Lan.Bo4 quoted me in the high 100s for white gold. I know I had a bad experience with his last setting but he seems really accomdating and willing to work with me. I just don't feel comfortable sending my BB stone to him .. it is a huge risk and I will be so sad if I lost this stone too. He did give me his home address to make sure he gets it. I am also pretty determined to take a jewellery making course. Maybe I can make it myself .. and then cry when my stone falls out. LOL. Too bad I haven't found a weekend course yet. I travel a lot for work and can't commit to the weekdays.

I would not trust this to lanbo4 or another chinese Ebay seller. I can dig up some other etsy suggestions if you would like? Sometimes it can be difficult to gauge their skill level, but you can always ask right ? How about if you had Sally make it in sterling or YG with a rhodium finish? I wouldn't normally consider this concept, but check out this lotus from Sally for a recent custom order, which she listed as 18K YG finished with rhodium - pretty huh?! I was really impressed with these pics ETA: I'm sorry charmy, PS won't let me attach any photos atm. I will try again for you soon ok? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran

LovingDiamonds Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,686 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 6/29/2008	I've just had the most wonderful experience working with Sally and I'm commissioning a second, different, piece as we speak! Yes, she is pricer than others but sometimes you get what you pay for. I'm a fussy mare and Sally delivered on all aspects, quality, customer responsiveness, the ability to interpret a design, not injecting too much of her own thoughts if you are specific, timeliness - need I say more!? I've just had an OMC set into a ring I designed and Sally brought to life - there are two links in the SMTR forum if you're interested.

Stone Hunter Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,778 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 5/12/2006	I like the setting you've picked. What about Stuller or Adwar do they have anything that will work for you? Or does the stone size require a custom setting? I'm just curious...
