Who does great filigre/engraving and split claw prongs?

[corundum_conundrum]

Who does killer filigre/engraving AND nice split claw prongs a la Leon Mege or JbEG?

I'm looking for more economically-priced vendors. Stock would work too.

Outside stone...

I would like to do something like this:

I don't know about the prong work but Greenlake and Joseph Jewellers do killer engraving, filigree and pierce work. Unfortunately, their skill level is too killer to be budget friendly.

Haha, thanks Chrono. Their work is so killer that it even kills budgets!

I haven't looked into Joseph...

Greenlake does amazing filigre, but they are outside of my price range. I haven't seen them do sharp thin claw prongs, but they do a claw foot prong that is really neat. It looks almost like a fishtail.

Have you ever used Greenlake?

I'd love to hear ideas too! Maybe Hunt Country?

ERD did a really nice Tacori inspired ring (the one with the rose gold halo) that has really good looking filigree and claw prongs, that would be an economical option too I think!

thanks pandabee!

I'll try to track down that ERD ring...that would be a more budget-friendly option, I should think...

ERD does what I think is nice engraving and filigre. Also after seeing BrightIce's new french cut half eternity I would throw JbEG into the mix too.

CC: does this mean you found a stone? Did we know this and I just forgot (which happens frequently)?

Not yet. I did contact them for quote though and found them very responsive.

I've used Greenlake cause I just adore their handmade filigree, a pleasure to work with and if you looking for any particular prong look, just pop them an image and they will match it and even customize it so its even more 'you'.
You are also allowed to have any changes if you are unhappy for free, a once off offer, anything after that its your cost. Even an entire remake.

Scott from Two Claws Jewelry does nice hand engraving and nice detail work, haven't seen claw prongs, though. He did a earring job for me and I was very happy with the work and the price.
