Does anyone have a suggestion to get high carat yellow gold ring mounting? I have a spessertite and a tourmaline that I'd like to set in yellow gold. I'm thinking something hammered for the spess but I don't want to spend an arm and leg.

Upgradeable, sounds like a beautiful idea.  Especially the hammered look.  Handmade gold mounts are pretty expensive right now, tho especially if done by a designer..... but if you get what you want, I feel it can be worth it.

Why not go to your local jeweler and ask.....I consulted my jeweler and he recommended a designer out of state who worked with me ( thru my jeweler, of course ) for months on the design of a mount and in the end, I was very pleased.

In addition, there are some wonderful sponsors here on Pricescope with numerous designers who could help you.

Have you seen any online pics that match the ideas you have in mind??

Gurhan's work cost more than just an arm and a leg; it costs TWO arms and a leg.
I know there's another guy who deals with high karat gold: http://www.22kt-gold.com

You can also find high karat mountings here:


I don't know much about them, but I found the site last night and I saw that they are having discounts.  It is called Athena's Treasures.
