online sources for side stones calf heads, kites?????????????

anyone know of a good online/internet source for side stones----bullets, calves heads,kites??????????

Nope... these side stones are almost never sold separately. The pairs I find retail are almost never well matched - most likely the stuff that no one in the trade would willingly put in their rings.

DBL would be a suggestion. I remember David answered a similar question way back, and they carry interesting sidestones for their rings to start with.

Awhile back I happened upon this website: www.americanfancies.com

They sell fancy shaped diamond pairs. I have never dealt with them. And I don''t know of anyone in the PS community who has bought from them. However, this website may be a good start for you.

Best of luck

I would think that every PS advertiser can get you any set of calf-heads, bullets or kites you may need. Problem with those types of goods is that they''re so rarely requested that keeping an up-to-date online inventory isn''t a priority for most vendors.

When you do find a pair be prepared for sticker-shock. There are only a couple companies that I know of who stock these types of goods and they charge a pretty penny for their services. Just last week I was quoted something like $4000/ct for matched .70ct emerald cuts. These are stones with no papers - just a guarantee of quality. I can get SINGLE EC''s of that size and quality with GIA reports for thirty percent less.

Getting one diamond is easy and cheap. Getting two, though, you sometimes gotta pay the piper.
