This person has 100% positive feedback, has mass produced cheap Chinese settings, and he told me it would only cost $50 to upgrade the diamonds on the above setting and free ring sizing, and free gold color change. He also customizes settings, but I don''t know for how much.

Has anyone heard of him?

I happen to have this seller in my Ebay favorites file.

I have never ordered from them though. I thought I had posted this seller in one of the LOGR threads already?

I think someone pointed out that although they have 100% feedback, it seemed they may have had some shillers bidding on the items/giving feedback? They are from the same place that LOGR is from so I wouldn''t be surprised if they are consistent to the LOGR settings. I like that they have some unique settings too..... a little different variety than LOGR. Thanks for posting this seller....

 

[StephCrowley]

Thank you for this great resource!!!

 

[Lady_Disdain]

I checked the seller out in toolhaus and there is only one withdrawn feedback. I can''t say anything about shillers, though.

I was just looking at this particul seller this morning. They sure do have beautiful settings.

Hi - I actually bought a setting from that seller a few weeks ago. It is gorgeous! The metal was a little light, but the pave is very sparkly and well-done. I had Mark from ERD set 3 sapphires in it and the ring is beyond gorgeous! Altogether it cost me under $400 but looks so much more. I''ll have to take some pics and post them.

I also ordered from this seller: lan.bo4
Similar settings, good service and nice rings.

Thanks for the input. I look forward to pics.

TL... I did add pics to the LOGR thread of the setting without the stone...........

 

[autumngems]

Please post the sellers name. I am looking for an alternatuive to LOGR now that prices went up.

The link to their listing is at the top of this thread in the first post.

Cannot access Ebay here at work

Two sellers with comprable settings to LOGR are:

Jewe2004
lan.bo4

 

[gongjoo143]

Here is my ring from ebay seller jewe2004. The setting cost me $200, has .42ct pave and is quite lovely in real life. I found the emerald cut blue sapphire and the two white sapphires on ebay for a steal. Mark from ERD set the whole thing for me. He thought the quality of the setting was good, although the metal is a little light.

I did my best taking pics but I don''t think I''ve got the macro quite right yet.

OMG!!! That is gorgeous.

Talk about an ebay find that looks like it''s worth a whole heck of a lot more!!! For a minute there I thought that was a fancy shmancy ring from some expensive dealer like NSC. Congratulations on the great find, and thanks for showing us the competition. What dealer did you get the sapphire if you don''t mind sharing? How are the diamonds on there, are they cloudy (it''s hard to see from your pics, but they seem to look great).

 

[gongjoo143]

wish i could get some better shots so y''all could see how sparkly the pave is. I''m pleased with the pave, of course there are a few dark stones but the quality is quite nice.

Thanks Tourmaline_lover! When Mark sent me the completed ring, I was beyond thrilled with how "expensive" it looked when altogether I spent approx $350. I don''t remember which ebay seller I bought the blue sapphire from, but it was from thailand. I can look it up if you like.

 

[gongjoo143]

the center isn''t that dark but it was hard to photograph the bright blue in the bathroom lights!

 

[mochi]

WOW!! That is gorgeous.

Yes, please let me know who the Thai seller was. Thanks!

Gongjoo143,
Are the diamonds true VS diamonds, or even if they're SI, are they clear? Even if there's an inclusion here or there, that's not what bugs me. I just hate cloudy "frozen spit" diamonds. I have my eye on a setting of theirs, and I want to make sure that the diamonds they advertise are really VS. They advertise VS diamonds in their listings as the default diamonds, and you can upgrade to VVS. In my mind that tells me that the VS diamonds are really I quality, and the VVS diamonds are SI quality.

Is it possible to get a side shot of the ring to show the diamonds?

 

[gongjoo143]

I wouldn''t say they are vs diamonds, probably SI. For the most part they are sparkly, but there are a few gray stones. The whole look is very pretty and glittery. The quality is definitely better than most mall stores, and the casting is smooth and finished too. It''s a great deal for the price.

More pics but I still can''t seem to capture the sparkle.

[gongjoo143]

another. Sun was setting but I got some good lighting. I did look up the ebay seller but he doesn''t seem to have much for sale right now. I think I got lucky.

 

[gongjoo143]

I got this one at the same time on a whim because it was priced well. 4+ct heat treated sapphire that Mark from ERD set for me.

 

[gongjoo143]

Thanks for humoring me - I finally figure out how to use my camera!

 

[leah19shahan]

What the name of the seller where you got the sapphire if you dont mind me asking. It''s beautiful! Im jealous!

 

[gongjoo143]

I got the emerald cut sapphire from x-gems but I just did a search and they aren''t selling anything similar. I bought it back in August so it was awhile ago.
I''ve also bought from thanex and they actually have a couple nice emerald cut sapphires now.

 

[T L]

I just bought something from Thanex that I was not happy with at all. The window was ginormous, but didn''t appear so in the pictures.

Beautiful ring. I''m trying to get some price quotes on fully cut VS diamonds. It''s more expensive I''ve found out since I want fully cut TRUE VS diamonds. Thanks for the additional pictures, really appreciate it. It''s even more gorgeous up close!!
