Stuller settings in southern MD?

[pregcurious]

Can anyone recommend a jeweler for ordering and setting gems in Stuller settings? I live in southern MD. I would be willing to do DC and NoVA

I cannot stomach the prices of custom settings for all my stones, and I would prefer Stuller over other premade settings for a balance of quality and cost. (I realize this would only work for calibrated sizes.)

Every independent jeweler I've ever been to has carried Stuller. I think the harder part will be finding someone you trust to set the stones.

I wish Kelpie were around. Lots of old timers have left. Sigh.

Hunt Country Jewelers in Purcellville, Virginia (near Leesburg) is really good. I believe they can order any Stuller setting.

Oh gosh, thank you for reminding me of them! Do you know how much they charge to set something?

I don't know specifically, but their prices are pretty reasonable all around.

You didn't forget Quest, right?

I love Quest! I would go to them with corundum, but am not sure if they would be the best choice for softer stones. I will have to consider.

Man, I have total mommy brain. I know of both of the vendors mentioned!

I saw some softer stones advertised for sale on their website under Fashion Rings but I don't know if they are preset from the manufacturer or whether Quest set them. There's a garnet, an aquamarine and a beryl.
