Hi,
A few months ago I purchased some loose Chatham opal cabochons (lab created). One is a 10mm x 8mm oval white opal, and the other is a 10mm x 7mm pear shaped black opal.
My fiancees birthday is coming up and I'd like to have one of them set into a pendant for her.
Though these are lab created, I'd really like to create a quality piece for her. For her engagemrnt ring i went the route of a 7mm cushion cut Chatham created ruby in a 14k white gold Gabriel Co setting with .65ct in the halo and graduated-band pave. There is lots of milgrain detail which gives it a nice vintage feel.
With that said I'd like to find an elegant pendant setting and chain for this piece. I don't have a go-to local jeweler, so I'm looking into the online route. So far, i havent seen much, and some of the settings that i have seen are extremely cheap and seemingly low quality.
I'm not set on any particular metals, but I'd like to keep the budget under $200ish if possible.
Can anyone recommend a good website to check out? Thanks!
