WF vs. BG vs, B&M martinis?

[orbaya]

I''m looking to reset my 1cttw round diamond studs in platinum. I have had them in yellow gold for many years and now I seem to be having allergic reactions to them so that''s why I''m going platinum. I would LOVE to get them bezel set, but in Plat, it''s out of budget. So, I''m thinking of doing martini settings. I wish I could get platinum bezels for $350ish. *sigh*

Is there a difference in the Whiteflash, Brian Gavin settings or going through a local shop for this type of purchase? Are there quality differences, or are the martini''s pretty much the same?

Thanks!

Well I have owned both WF and BG martinis. Personally I thought my BG martini prongs we more delicate. Both are beautiful though. I don't know what the B&M are offering, maybe going out there and check? https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/what-is-the-best-way-to-celebrate-10-years-of-marriage-1-5-ctw-bgd-studs.122921/page-4 here is a link to the bgd martinis. happy birthday tomorrow btw

Those are gorgeous studs!

So you liked BG ones better? How was the price compared with WF? Also, how do I go about getting prices from Brian? I haven''t found a website for him if one exists.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Skippy!

Well to be fair, maybe WF improved theres? I had the WF ones for a year and then BGD happened to have a matching pair of diamonds so I went w/them for my upgrade. They were about the same price as WF (the setting). I think my setting was 175 but they are WG; not sure on platinum. You should email them or call Lesley. Let's see if I can find their info. brb eta: here is the info


Yay hope your birthday is fabulous!!!!

Thanks! I just sent off an email, so hopefully I''ll hear back early next week.

Do you know if Brian plans on having an online store presence at some point?
