Settings Help

[Boogeyman]

I've been fortunate enough to find just the right stone and at the right price and now the hunt is on for a setting. The stone is from White Flash and while I've looked at their settings, I'd like to get other options as well. I personally favor the Pave or Diamond accented settings as opposed to other options. That being said, can anyone point me to perhaps two or three recommended sites that offer quality settings? I am thinking white gold or perhaps platinum. Thank you. Any thoughts or suggestions are surely welcome as to advantages and or disadvantages etc.

Here's an example of what I am thinking of:
http://www.gold-custom.com/Ring-Settings/Diamond-Engagement-Ring-Setting_ItemTag_RS-084.aspx

Or conversely:

www.pearlmansjewelers.com is great for browsing, as well as the Show Me the Ring folder.

I didn''t see this thread, I just suggested this.

Thanks! Found your suggestion. Found this one which is great but don''t know what it is called.

That setting was custom made my Leon Mege of Artofplatinum.com. He's in the diamond district in NYC.
He makes beautiful handmade platinum settings - while not cheap, they are often significantly cheaper than "designer brand" settings. (I think he will work in gold too.)

Scintillating...

Scintillating-

Are there pics of this ring on your hand in the SMTR folder? I don''t think I saw it in there? I have a large RB of 3 carats that I am trying to decide on a setting for. It is hard to visualize how these look when you can''t see them in person. I am looking for a ''heavier'' setting, one with some bulk to it. This one looks so beautiful!
