check with the old store on hburro street down near the beltower, they did do that kidna stuff, and they are closing soonish so may cut you a decent deal, they try not to screw folks over as well.

They are superb. Setting in silver may be tough, you may want to go the white gold route if it holds some value weather sentimental of monetary.
Also they are retiring and everything is at least 25% off and up to 75% off.
