Anyone know about the online vendor Hayden Cudworth?

I found a setting I really like and I ordered the replica to try at home. Assuming I like it in person, the price is right, but I can't find any posts about this vendor on Pricescope or WB. Has anyone used them or know anything about them? I would be ordering a simple 14k white gold setting with no diamonds in it.

It's a relatively new venture, about a year old. Started by the son in a family that owns a brick and mortar jewelry store in Brooklyn. Don't know anything more than that, sorry.

Have you confirmed with them that they will sell you just the setting? Based on the little notations on the listings, I am wondering if you are actually expected to purchase the complete ring from them.

Thank you! It helps at least to know it's connected in some way to a b&m store in NYC, and not a fly by night overseas deal.

Yep, confirmed I can get just the setting and got prices for 14k white gold. $250 for the Iris I which is the one I think I'll like the best. I also ordered a replica of the Hayden Classic which would be $205 for just the setting in 14k white gold.

They also said they would set it for $35 but then when you add in shipping each way with insurance and it will likely be cheaper to have it set locally. The person I emailed with specifically recommended having it set on my own as it would be easier and cheaper. I spoke to a bench jeweler today who said to set it and rhodium plate again after setting and polishing would be about $50, so that's the route I'll go if I like this setting.
