Do you have a local jeweler? They should be able to get Stuller products. Those you've pictured look like nice, possibly custom made settings which would be
more like $400-$500.

Thank you for your help!! Do you have any idea how much usually these Stuller settings usually cost ? I never ordered throug local jeweler , so I have no idea ! I asked David Klass for the price ,he quoted me 350$ to make them , is that fair price?

All of the Stuller pieces are pretty affordable, so take a look and see who you have in your local area. It's always a good idea to have a local jeweler that you can turn to in case you need a fast repair, a good cleaning on your ring for a special event, etc.

Agree with Winks_Elf...
I think it depends where you live and how expensive things are in your area. My jeweler ordered a pendant setting for me from stullers and I think
it was $60. More gold in an earring and you have to double the price since their are two. Not sure how much your jeweler charges to mount the
stones. I guess mine was sort of built into the price of the setting because he did not charge me a separate mounting fee. So, I would think in my
area they would be $200-$250??? Just a guess. I live in an area that is not that expensive.

David Klass would do an excellent job. You also have mailing cost (unless he built that into his quote).

Did you ask for a quote from ID Jewelry?

This is the setting I got (but for a pendant).

Thank you a lot for your help ! I saw that setting what you showed for a pendant on eBay ! You got really lucky that the jeweler charged you only for setting ! I ordered similar from eBay for like 50$, plus most of the jewelers charge 1$ per carat ,I had 0.50 diamond and I had to pay plus 50 $ for setting the stone . I live in Houston area . Didn’t know that here everything is so overpriced . Once I also bought kind of inexpensive settings for studs,but the backings weren’t goodand the post where it attaches ,so with all settings and setting fee I end up with 200$ and they didn’t look good I went to high end jewelry shop and still prongs didn’t look good so know I have to pay twice . So maybe it’s worth just go with David Klass ,hard to justify 350$ for simple setting which cannot be seen

If you’re in Houston, can you go to Whiteflash or BGD? Both have inexpensive stud settings on their sites and both are much-loved vendors on this forum. Plus you could see some ideal cut stones in person just for fun while you’re there!
