Old Cut Diamond Vendors besides OldWorldDiamonds and SS?

[Snuffles_Rose]

Hi --

Does anyone know of any Los Angeles vendors for old cut diamonds? I know Single Stone is one (great) option but I wanted to put some feelers out for any others. I don't know if anyone's seen my previous posts, but I'm looking for a small (.3-.5 ct.) old cut. Trying to keep costs down so any setting will most likely be uber simple (which will be a whole 'nother challenge...). I live close to the LA jewelry district so I'm hoping to make one big visit to look at options.

Help would be appreciated!



Many thanks,

Snufffles(upagaus)

Wanna Buy a Watch on Melrose
Belle Epoche (sp?) In the St. Vincent diamond center across the street from ss
Kfk jewelers on w. 3rd by the Beverly Center (my personal jeweler and where I got my OEC)
The well known place across from Neil Lane on LA Cienega. ...must think of the name...

There's a few other places (little known) but I have to think about it.....

Oh there's a gold and coin store on Ventura in Tarzana across from whole food and the lady who works there on Tuesdays has a box of old cuts! She doesn't advertise but works through word of mouth. I have her card somewhere....need time to find it.

Sherman Oaks antique mall has a little jewelery section.

Be back when i have more...

Is it Craig Evan Small?

Does Wanna Buy A Watch deal with loose stones? I've been in their store and seen their rings (there's a phenomenal emerald sugarloaf ring) but obviously it's not like they have loose stones just layin' around.

Thanks for the rec on Belle Epoche (haven't heard of them) or KFK --- have you any photos of KFK's work on your jewelry? Do you mean you have them repair pieces and maintain them, and/or do they have a bench for custom design?

Awesome to find all these places in my side of town.
