Help I am looking for a setting

[Pete In NC]

Ok
I am looking for a setting. Here is a link to Helzbeg diamonds.

http://www.helzberg.com/hdsim/jsp/catalog.do?link=catalog&product_id=1546633&BV_SessionID=@@@@0528115525.1059082213@@@@&rootChannelName=%2FCommerce+Navigation%2F%3C%21--A--%3EJewelry&BV_EngineID=cccdadcikjgmmjdcflgcefkdfkjdffk.0

What I want to do is purchase just the ring as I have a center diamond I would like to use. Helzberg will not sell the ring other than as is and I do not wish to pay for an ungraded center stone of dubios quality and they of course will not tell me who their supplier is. Can anyone help me out with this?

P.S. how does one make a link active on this board?

That is a stunning setting that you picked out!

Sorry, I don't know where you would find a setting that is similar. My suggestions is that you could print out that picture and bring it into a jeweler and see what they have that is similar. Or, you could get that custom made somewhere else.

The most active forum is in "Rocky Talky", next time post up there if you need opinions in a jiffy!

Good luck with your search!

I have no clue as to how you can provide a link. I have never claimed to know anything about computers. haha
The ring is stunning. I think though that getting it custom made would be cheaper than what Helberg wants. The clarity grade & colours arent very good for that price, then you have the added worry about what kind of cut the stone has.
Have you checked out Verragio? They make great settings, expensive, but great. What about getting it custom made locally? I dont know where you are in NC, but if you're around the Durham area, there's a place called Jewelsmith (close to Duke Medical). You could always buy your stones (all of them online) & have them construct it. They do amazing work. I cant recall anyone else in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary areas. Someone else might know. I do know that Bailys carries Verragio & Vatche.
