Hi all,
I've searched for weeks and weeks for the exact setting I'm looking for, but have not been able to find it outside of Tiffany. I'm simply not willing to pay for Tiffany prices so it looks like I will need to go custom to get something at least very close.

As you can see, I'm looking for a halo setting with emerald center (expected to be ~1.75carats, not yet purchased) and side diamonds. Everything I've found either has too much metal (Tiffany makes it appear the stones are "floating"), has the center stone set too high above the halo, has too thick of a band, etc.
Brilliance has quoted me $2695 for a platinum setting with 0.58 carats for the halo/side stones.
A) I'm not sure if this is a good price
B) I'm not sure if Brilliance is a good vender for custom settings
I REALLY don't want to end up with something that has a poor finish to it, or is clearly not what I had in mind. I'm almost hoping for someplace with a 4 week or so turn-around time. Any suggestions?
