The setting has an E-W half bezel for a RB, but not the kind that is at a right angle to the shank. The bezel parts branch out in a V shape if you are looking at the gallery. Like this: http://www.dimendscaasi.com/build/step1.asp?prodID=1A3F Not like this: http://www.jamesallen.com/products/item_57-1931.asp The exact setting I am loking for has a delicate ring of micropave around the base of the "V". Have you seen anything like this before? Thanks!

Have you already bought a stone? Maybe you could request a quote from there? If not, try Whiteflash - they made my ering (a variation on a stock setting) and their workmanship is excellent and their prices are good too. Wedding Date Take 2: 26th November 2009!

I have seen this setting in person at a B&M. This B&M is on the shady side and I don't trust them to use the best micropave, set my stone correctly, etc. I'd prefer not to buy it there. I've thought about getting it custom, but it kills me to pay extra for that when I know it is out there somewhere! I know this isn't the B&M's own design, so someone else must be selling it...at least that's my hope

I am not good with finding settings (more of a diamond hunter around these parts) but there are other ladies who know their settings!! Hopefully they will chime in with suggestions. It's a lovely design by the way, and I think you are doing the right thing avoiding the dodgy B&M, you really need to trust your jeweller especially with micropave. If you do end up going custom, it would be worth getting a quote from Leon Mege - not cheap, but his workmanship is second to none apparently, and a lot of PSers will attest to the money being well-worth it. Good luck!! Wedding Date Take 2: 26th November 2009!

I don't know why that never occurred to me--maybe because the micropave is more of a minor detail and the design is on the modern/bold side, but I think you are right--he would do a fantastic job with it. Definitely something to consider... Calling all Setting Queens: Can anyone find something like this online????

Her setting is Michael Bondanza. This Sholdt design setting is also similar but without the pave. Maybe worth contacting Brian Sholdt?
