Recommendation for a Jeweler in L.A. Who Will set a diamond?

[Kaili]

So, my bf and I are looking to buy a setting from an online jeweler who is located accross the country from us. The jeweler doesn''t want to have us send him the diamond to be set. He wants to ship the setting to us and have us find a local jeweler to set it.

Here is the problem...
I have made several inquiries to jewelers in our area and none that I have contacted want to be responsible for setting the stone for the same reasons the online jeweler doesn''t want to set it.

Can anyone recommend a jeweler or appraiser that would be trustworthy and willing to set our diamond in the semi mount who is located in Los Angeles?

Chris at Dave Atlas appraised the diamond for us, does anyone know if they do setting also (I know, I could email or call, I was just looking for a quicker answer

)? I was hoping to avoid mailing the diamond accross the country again.

Thank you so much!
