Michael B Paris setting help please

[Busybee6778]

Hi everyone! I am in search of a setting. I love the look of the Michael B Paris setting but they are so expensive. Does anyone know of a similar setting with a lower price tag?

What is your budget for the setting?

ERD does a pretty bad incredible version of it.

My budget is around 3,000 give or take some. Could you post a pic or link to the erd ring?

It was never posted on PS. I saw it in person. I would just contact Chris at ERD and see what they quote you. Somtimes they work with budgets especialy if you do the whole 1 stop shop through them (meaning diamond and setting). I actually liked it better then the Michael B version and I'm extremely picky about my pave.

I just saw something similar on loupetroop under Settings. $2000 was the asking price but a size 5.5.

Hope it helps.

It's lovely!! It held a 2+ ct stone though. Do you already have a stone?

It's absolutely gorgeous! I do not have a diamond yet. But this could still be a possibility. Thanks so much!

Hi Busybee!

I love the Michael B Paris setting -- nice choice!! You may want to find the diamond first, though... it's much easier do it this way.

I think I answered you on a different thread, but I believe a member here originally had that setting and the appraiser told her it wasn't the highest level workmanship. It is just very bad to pay for brand and not get the best quality setting. I'd truly have either Victor Canera or Steven Kirsch make the ring for you, and it likely will cost a lot less and be a finer quality ring. I have worked with Victor before, and he does outstanding work!
