ArtCarved setting -- opinions on quality & where to get?

[volatilis]

Hi,

I''m considering purchasing an engagement ring setting by ArtCarved, and would appreciate any information regarding the quality of their settings. It appears that very few online retailers carry them (billbarnes.com is among them). It''s also interesting that some other retailers that DO carry the ArtCarved brand only carry the wedding bands, but not the engagement rings.

Also, does anyone know of any PriceScope diamond vendors that either 1) would be able to obtain this setting from ArtCarved, or 2) would be willing/able to set a diamond purchased from them in the ArtCarved setting purchased elsewhere?

The specific setting I am considering is this one:

Thanks for reading this post -- I appreciate any input!

Hi and welcome to PS..

1) I honestly am not sure if any PS vendors could obtain an ArtCarved setting. You might try calling a few and asking. Mark t at engagementringsdirect, pearlmans, Goodoldgold and Winfields would be my suggestions.

2) many of the vendors will set the diamond you purchase from them into a setting you purchase elsewhere for a setting fee.
