I dont have a camera here and my phone camera fails at taking jewelry shots. I'll take some later tonight.
I actually found him on ebay when i was searching for settings. I wasn't sure how it'd look in person, so I dropped by last friday. This is the one i got. It just barely fit a 9mm Barry pure red garnet, so i bought it! HIs benchman set it for me while I waited. an 8mm probably would have fit better and not sat so high, but I wanted to wear this in a pendant and I thought this was really well made. All the milgrain is even. my garnet just barely covers the middle parts of the inside milgrain of the halo. Each diamond is almost loupe clean, well cut, and there are no dark or hazy diamonds. I also really liked the profile loopy design w/ the tiny bezeled diamonds.

Now that i'm looking at the listing, mine only has 0.32ct of diamonds, but it looks like there is a lot still, and each is about 1.1mm. Even w/ a 9mm stone, it almost overpowers the stone. I wonder how big that setting you posted is, if it's supposed to have double the carat weight.
I also bought this setting for my 8mm purply pink garnet. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-14k-WHITE-GOLD- ... 2308b5ab91
it's HUGE on my hand, but i loved how nice the stone looked in that setting, and the setting is well made too. The insides are not carved/ hollowed out, which is a pet peeve of mine. He is setting it and resizing it down to a 3.25 for me. it should be done by today, but i wont have time to go until friday.
His prices are negotiable if you dont go thru ebay. I was okay with that because I saw the settings in person, but i'm not sure if you're okay with that.
