I am interested in setting my Jeff White square emerald-cut aqua into a three-stone setting with 2 side stone step-cut traps, but am looking to keep costs as low as possible without sacrificing cut-quality...

I am thinking I might need traps around 5mm at their largest side, but I do not know where to start looking. I contacted a recommended Etsy seller about creating this three-stone setting for me, but in the meantime, I am curious to find out how much this might actually cost. It is very likely to be out of my budget, but because it is a sentimental ring (a long-belated wedding gift from my DH), I just wanted to see if it might be possible.

Thank you so much for any ideas you might have!!!

(for reference, this is Jeff''s photo of the aqua--it measures 8.1mm--do you all agree that 5mm would be a good size for side traps?)

The traps (long side) should be a tiny shorter than the straight edge of the girdle plane (from corner break to corner break).
