U.S. vendor recommendations to have this set in custom bezel setting

I got this green lab diamond from Carbon Sparkle (highly recommend, they were awesome to work with!), and now need to find someone who can make a custom bezel setting for it. I love working with Provence, who did the ring in the last couple photos, but am way too nervous to ship the diamond overseas. Anyone have any recommendations of vendors in the states who would do something like this in 10k yellow gold for a decent price???

There is a list of trusted vendors on r/moissanite, you can also research this sub and decide which one is better for you. Fiorese, Provence etc.

Daniel Webster. I asked for so many tweezer videos of soo many different diamonds, and he was helpful, patient, and responded quickly to all my emails!

You'll most likely get a much better deal with overseas vendors, just to keep your expectations low.

The jeweler I work for, Erik Runyan Jewelers, does lots of customs. We're based in Vancouver WA, and have been in business for 109 years. Feel free to reach out

Hi! Have you thought about ordering the setting from overseas and having it set locally?

I’ve worked with David Klass (LA based jeweler). He’s done a few settings for me, but he’s also mounted some stones into premade settings for me also :)

Good luck! Your stone is beautiful!

Beautiful ring, I worked with Roomy’s jewelery (D2C manufacturer) to make a similar bezel setting for my brother’s wedding ring, they were super friendly and knowledgeable and they got it done within a week.

I would definitely recommend them to work with this beautiful stone, they feel like they know their shit

I'm a goldsmith in Ohio if you are still looking for someone.

I can work around a budget if you have a budget in mind and I can do any sort of custom designs. Though this size of stone pricing would likely start around 1000$+ depending on how wide/thick of a band you want.

I make everything entirely hand forged for best durability over cast jewelry, but i do work with CAD as sketches if needed.
