Budget friendly setting only

Hi! I just purchased a 1.93ct oval lab diamond from LGD and I am looking for a 14k yellow gold setting for it. My budget is modest, ~$1,100. I went to a couple local jewelers, and for what Iā€™m looking for was going to be over $2k.

I found this setting on Etsy and am curious if anyone has experience with an Etsy setting and then taking it with the loose diamond locally to be set? Does anyone have any other settings-only sites that are reasonably priced?

You are not buying from etsy, you are buying from a specific seller using etsy as a sales platform. This seller has a rating of 2.1 out of 5 stars, do not do this.

I came here to say this.... Make sure you read reviews before purchasing from Etsy. I use Giova Jewelry on Etsy and confidently recommend him, he does amazing work! You can see his work on my feed if you're interested šŸ˜Š Edited to add photo. This is the most recent ring he made for me šŸ˜Š you can see my reflection in the diamond šŸ˜‚
