Vendors with inexpensive settings?

[AntiqueLover]

I am unexpectedly having to replace my setting. Any good vendors with antique/vintage settings? Like a few hundred to a grand? As I also need a wedding band :-\ Ideally, I'd LOVE some sapphire accents. My stone is an OEC with a thin girdle, so it needs to be set low for protection. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance

So sorry to hear that. Both JbG & LAD have some mountings on their sites for under $1k. LAD had one with sapphire accents as well. What size is your OEC?

Here is the one I was thinking of from LAD: http://www.loveaffairdiamonds.com/vintage-sapphire-filligree-mounting/

I wonder if your ring would fit in this. I bet they would take 500

Hubby was doing some looking the other day and found this replica that he loves.. but I'm not certain if my stone would be protected enough in the mount. I was told it has a thin to very thin girdle I don't want to chip it.

Well it might be possible for them to set it into the mounting pretty low so the girdle is more "flush" and less exposed.

That is absolutely gorgeous.
