Hi, everyone! Well, I thought this was going to be a simple endeavor, but...no. 
I'm wanting a 3-stone ring to wear with my plain half-round 2mm wedding band, but everything is Huge, and I'm looking for petite and understated. My finger size is 5.75, and I don't want side-to-side-coverage. Ideally, i'd like to go with diamonds that are 3.75mm or less in diameter.
I found a Stuller setting that I like quite a bit. It would take 3 stones of the same size, anywhere from 2.5mm to 6mm. So, first I thought I could do that with some WF melee in my chosen size, but they don't work with Stuller settings, and require the purchase of a certified diamond to do a custom design. If I'm understanding the website correctly, only the larger (.3ct and up) stones are certified.
I reached out to BGD, and they'll gladly work with my chosen setting, but they don't seem to have the smaller diamonds that I'm hoping for. Currently with them, I am looking at 3 .204ct I VS1s. I'm hesitating, because I think this will end up being a more substantial ring that I want.
I'm a newbie at all of this, so I'm reaching out to the forum in hopes that some of you with more experience will chime in and let me know if there are options that I've overlooked. I appreciate everyone's time!
TL;DR: I have a specific idea in mind for a 3-stone ring. WF has the right diamonds but can't work with my setting. BGD will use the setting, but doesn't seem to have the diamonds I need. What can I do?
