I'm a newbie to gemstones and am looking to get a men's ring made with either a blue zircon or blue topaz stone in it. My wishes are for the ring to be a fairly unobtrusive "signet style" with the stone sitting transversely (east-west).
What I need to know is do I search for a stone that I like first and then take it to a jeweler in hopes that they can find a setting that I like and will accommodate the stone? Or do I need to find a suitable setting first and then a stone to fit it?
I have attached a picture (hopefully) of a couple of rings that are similar to what I am looking to design.
Any feedback and guidance is greatly appreciated.
