Diamond settings from NSC

[justageek]

Hi,

The Natural Sapphire Company [NSC] seems to have a very good reputation for their stones -- I would like to find out about the quality of design and execution of their pave settings for a diamond. Here''s a link to their mountings site:

Specifically (having not yet contacted NSC

)

1) Does NSC set diamonds? If not, will they sell semi-mounts to you, given that you tell them your center diamond specs?
2) What is your impression of the quality of their pave technique?
3) What is your impression of the quality of the diamonds they use to create pave?
4) What is your impression of their prong-work?
OR
A) Are all of these questions irrelevant because they outsource to several different workshops to do their settings, and it''s really just a lottery past a certain level of quality? If so, what is this base level of quality?

Thanks for your help
