Hi everybody, I''m searching for engagement rings, and have decided that I need to focus on the setting first, and then will search for the ideal diamond for it. These links represent the style of setting I''m looking for, which seem to fall under the ''vintage'' or ''antique'' categories:

Apologies for not being able to paste the photos.
My questions:
1) Can you identify any good dealers/sources for settings in this style?
2) Is it likely that any online vendor will be able to work with a setting like this?
3) What stone limitations should I be mindful of when buying a setting like this, i.e. carat size and shape?
4) Could a setting like this hinder the stones brilliance or fire?
Thank you to all in advance! I truly appreciate your expert opinions and advice!
Mike
