Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	I went to a jewelry store in St. Helena, CA called Palladium, and they were wonderful folks... anyway... I saw a stunning wedding band by Carl Blackburn from his Abacus collection... and the guys at the store told me the designer has engagement settings that he customizes for clients, including ones with bezel halos, from this collection that match this band (although they didn't have any in stock), and that I should take a look online see if I like any of them, and call them. But the site for Carl Blackburn doesn't have that collection... and So.... I was wondering if any of your resourceful folks could help me out? First, is this a good designer? The band seemed very reasonably priced, and it was really quite stunning and delicate (I've included a picture of the band from another site)-- about 950 dollars for the platinum with .25 carats of diamonds-- but I know nothing about the designer... and can't find information about this collection. Second.. anyone know where this collection is shown online? Help? Thanks so much! Gypsy

Tel: 619-463-4624 Fax: 619-465-7603 E-mail: morrie@carlblackburn.com 619 area code is San Diego, by the way. Don't know if that is a clue, but the word Abacus stood out. Good luck

His work is wonderful and well priced. It is available in 18kt white/yellow gold and platinum. In the future the name will change to Beverley K Collection. ---------------------- Bill Pearlman www.pearlmansjewelers.com

And Bill Pearlman gave him a seal of approval, which is, frankly, as good as it gets. Jelly, It's SO much prettier in person too! You should definately find a place that carries it to take a look. I loved it, Big time!

I have a one carat asscher I want set with a halo, but I may want it set um... <> that way instead of...[ ] ... this way. Does that make any sense? THANKS!

Wow, the store I visited only had a couple of his stuff... but WOW the whole collection is stunning! There were multiple things I liked on nearly every page. Unfortunately, none of the semi-mounts did it for me... but maybe I'll have to ask them if they'll do a custom setting for me. Hmm.... THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!
