Need new semi-mount for a broken

Call me thrifty, whatever you like, but I found a great deal. A 1.44 carat Oval diamond, clarity about Si-1 or higher, color F to G (this rating was done with a local jeweler who helped me with the color scales of actual sample colors) but it had a chip on it. I bought it anyway, it was STUNNING! Recently, I sent it to Schumaker diamond cutters and later found a post on Pricescope about Schumaker too! They said they would just fix the chip with little to no carat weight loss! (stone is going from a 1.44 to a 1.40 carat weight). They let me choose between a minor chip repair or a full recut. I chose the repair. I can't believe there are actual diamond cutters who will address your needs without having to go through a "middle man." What a cost savings! To get the chip repaired it only cost me $125.00 plus shipping (around 30.00 for registered mail). Awesome!!! :) They deserve some applause!!!!!! The trouble is now that my "lady" is fixed I need a new setting for her. I want a bezel set in 14kt yellow gold. (I am NOT a white gold/platinum kind of person). Does anyone know where I can buy a semi mount with diamonds (maybe channel set) for a reasonable price? Thanks

Here is a pretty yellow gold bezel set halo from Pearlman's: http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/jane-taylor-jewelry/rings/37L1/

I want a plain bezel (strip of metal going around an oval stone)... preferably one that has a slit in the side metal to let some light shine through? Also, I would like diamonds just down the sides, but small ones, maybe channel set or baguettes? Thanks!
