Ring Settings: Local vs Online

[FarmPal]

Hey everyone,

I know there are huge differences in markup prices for the diamonds bought online or locally, but is it an equally large difference for the setting? I've bought the diamond online but am having trouble with getting a setting online (The details: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/setting-advice.162196/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/setting-advice.162196/[/URL]), even though I know the look that I want (http://www.bluenile.ca/diamond-engagement-ring-platinum_17383).

I've even found some alternatives, but have no idea how to order or even get the price for them.

Help?

Stuller and Adwar are casting companies; i.e. jewelers can buy settings from them, but they don't sell directly to the public. You could contact local jewelers and tell them which of the Stuller and Adwar settings you're looking at and ask for price quotes. I don't know which online vendors sell Stuller and Adwar but I'm sure someone else could chime in so you have some price comparison.

Thanks, I'll look around to get some quotes locally as well as online!
