Is it possible to buy a diamond from a cheaper store, purchase a setting from Tiffany’s, and have Tiffany’s set it? I’m afraid that a random local jeweler might swap out the center stone to a lower

Tiffany won’t do that they only use their stones

100% this. I’m not sure why people are recommending “honest” jewelers for this when an honest jeweler would know that Tiffany would never set an outside stone. You’d be stuck with just a diamond and no setting.

A reputable jeweler would never swap out, and you can/should get a diamond that comes with certification. A good jeweler will also work with you on creative settings way beyond the scope of what is offered by Tiffany, Cartier, Harry Winston, etc.
Tiffany has their own standards for choosing diamonds and upcharges for those stones due to brand, so no way they would sell just the setting as that would dilute the brand super fast if people used lower quality stones.

BTW for an example of what I mean on settings: I love pratiksha jewelry (and know the owner)... their FB/Instagram has a bunch of examples of custom engagement and wedding rings.

quality one. I’m sure Tiffany’s would never do that.

No, but if you find a jeweler which sells the Vatche U113 it is almost a perfect replica. You can then set with any stone you’d like.

Yes - I have a very honest recommendation for someone in NYC diamond district. Family owned business - they have an upgrade policy and they do custom jobs. You can browse their Instagram/ website for an idea of $ but they can always work w/u. DM and I can introduce you! ❤️
