Recommendation for an excellent professional stone setter

[glowpear]

Good morning all,

I am looking for recommendations for an excellent professional stone setting service. Has anyone personally used a firm that they could recommend? Not comfortable pulling a random name off Google. Previous experience tells me that there are setters and there are setters!

Looking to have some small diamonds set in some rings I have made and the setter needs to have a clue, as the rings are very geometric and precision is of utmost importance.

I am in Germany so needs to be somewhere I can do by post. There are plenty of fabulous setters here but costs are through the roof so I want to compare - may be cheaper in the UK even taking into account courier costs.

Thanks very much and I hope this hasn't been asked before somewhere!

Hi Peter, who sets those, they are beautiful, is it someone on our forum?

That's some of Jura's work - he specialises in micro pave, so stones down to 0.7mm. I don't think he reads this forum

Since Jura is a friend I'll also fully recommend his tools ( I've been using some of them a fair while) & they are very good.
You could try Vitalij Kricuk in Germany (search YouTube)..
Or then Alexander Siderov in Belgium...

Wonder what they charge? Not the faintest clue but I'm abit curious

Sent you pm by the way, & thanks Wallace.:thumbup:

Beautiful work. Ooooh, I want some pieces for myself.
When I read his blah-blah-blah about "if you want to read more about jewelry", I found it kind of funny, ok, the guy has sense of humor. But when I found the same blah-blah-blah under warranty category, it's not customer friendly, imo. In this case I prefer to buy from trusted retailer who gives me free cleaning, free fixing during certain period of time, free resizing.

Time to take a trip over to Beverley Hills.

Have to confess I haven't read it - but he does do repairs on his work. I strongly doubt that resizing is possible.

And yes, his tools are very good.

Added - OK, now I've read it
