Damiani style ering

Hi all,
I recently ran across a couple of Damiani rings from their classici collection, both diamond solitaires, that I think would make perfect engagement rings for my girlfriend. There seems, however, to be a fairly high markup for the Damiani name. What I like about these rings is the delicate way that the prongs are set compared to a Tiffany setting, however I don't want to spend much on a setting, maybe $700 at the most, and am wondering if similar settings exist from other sources or if I could get something similar custom made.
I particularly like the setting on the right, although I'm not a fan of having a logo on an ering. I do think, however, that if I could find a similar setting with a plain rose gold or similar band around the prongs that would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I contacted them and they should be getting back to me with an estimate. They were fantastic when I talked to them over the phone. I'm still curious as to whether anyone has seem a similar setting that wouldn't have to be custom made.
Also, why are the prices for whiteflash diamonds so dramatically reduced in the pricescope search engine, compared to the prices that are listed once I click on the diamonds and am directed to the actual whiteflash site? I realize there is a 3% pricescope discount, but some of the diamonds I am looking at have something closer to a 30% difference in price. I searched the forums but couldn't find any threads on this so if someone could direct me to one that would be great.
