Need Pendant made in LA or online

[peridot83]

I have a tiny tanzanite stone I want to make into a pendant. Ideally there are two types of settings I''m interested in:
1. In white gold that has some filagree (I like the designs w/ a round small stone embedded in a "kite set" square).
2. Bezel set w/ another small stone (.2-3 diamond woul be nice, but may be out of budget) highlighting it.

I have a limited budget of around $500. Are there any jewelers in LA that would have this type of setting or would be willing to do a custom for me in that budget?

Also if not, is there anyone online who could do so?

I''d start looking in the adwar catelogs online. Your budget is fairly limited, but adwar is really reasonable and many jewelers will finish adwar products.

Even tho we''ve moved hundreds of miles away, my DW still wants me to go down to the LA Jewelry District to get any jewelry work done at the place I got her E-ring from. Oscar''s Design Jewelry. 7th floor in some building down there. http://www.oscarjewelry.com/

Can always check to see if they can help you out. I liked how they were nice and patient with me. Wife loved their work, especially compared to many other jewelers'' work she''s seen. Very low pressure. Took her and her mom once to look for a ring setting. Didn''t find what we were looking for, and they didn''t pressure us to buy something we didn''t like. Just said, "Sorry we couldn''t help you, but please come back if you need anything else." I understand why there''s always some obviously loyal customers stopping by all the time.
