ebay settings

[bubu]

Does any one have any experience with purchasing settings from ebay and can you recommend any good vendors. I am looking for a setting with side stones that can old a cushion cut diamond.

Thank you

Why are you wanting to go to ebay? Most of the deals that are still around there are for second hand jewelry. The quality stuff sold there by jewelers runs about the same price as the online vendors here. Ebay also has some risk involved. What type of setting are you looking for and have you looked at any of the vendors websites that are recommended here? What's your price range and maybe we can help you find something that will fit your budget!

Hi bubu!
I saw your post earlier but I haven't had a chance to look yet. I've got a few sites that have good settings (a variety of styles) for good prices. I've also searched my favorite estate sites for rings I thought might work for you in your budget. I don't know if you've found a stone but I've also searched for those.

Here is a pretty nice loose stone

Here is a nice OMC (old mine cut) platinum solitaire ring

Another but with more engraving on the ring (they also carry nice settings and other nice rings if you'd consider rounds)

Another but older style halo

A good place for settings

A good site for completed rings (I haven't searched yet)
http://www.newyorkestatejewelry.com/

And also another good site (hard to search but has great settings and completed rings as well)

http://www.marleneharriscol.com/

I'll continue to search for something, but if you're open to OEC (old European cuts) there really are a lot more options that are unique and beautiful as well Good luck!
