Montana Jeweler and Transitional Rounds

[rebski]

Does anyone know of a good custom jeweler and a good diamond source (not necessarily the same place) around Billings (or even Bozeman), Montana? I am hoping to find someone good to make a new three-stone setting for my engagement ring. Also, we will be using a family stone for one of the side stones. I had thought that it was a regular modern brilliant, but after looking at it more and comparing it to a same-sized modern brilliant, I think it's really a transitional cut. Any tips for finding a match for this?

I know of a reputable one in Great Falls, but that is pretty far away.

I know a good jeweler and diamond source in Bozeman. I think forum policies prevent me from making the recommendation publicly, however.

Same for me.

Update: We went to the Jewelry Studio in Bozeman. We plan to have them make the setting. We felt pretty good about working with them because it sounds like they'll really involve us in the whole process and make sure we're happy. We also plan to get a side stone through them. We were told that they'd send our stone off to have a matching stone cut, instead of trying to search for a good match. That sounds good to me. I'm a newbie with all of this, but I hadn't even heard about that as an option before. Any idea whether this is going to mean a much higher cost for what we get?
