Is it just me or have prices for settings gone/become completely insane? I looked at a setting today that I loved. It was relatively thin, probably around 2mm or maybe slightly bigger on top with beautiful, tiny, tiny sparkly diamonds just on the top - they were extremely small but I liked them because they just looked very glittery.
In white gold the setting was 1100 dollars, in platinum it was 2,100 - what gives here? i know that platinum is expensive but seriously these prices are insane... and 1100 for a white gold setting????? There was not a lot of detailing or filigree on this setting - but I will admit it was beautiful. I still am having a hard time accepting the prices I am finding.
When I asked why the white gold was so expensive he said that the tiny melee diamonds were VVS quality and F/G color. Seriously though we are talking about itty bitty tiny diamonds, they weren''t even 2 pointers - smaller than that. How can they really ask 1100 bucks for it. I assume that they can ask because people actually pay these absurd prices. And I assume i will soon be one of these people paying these absurd prices.
I did notice however that these little tiny diamonds were much more sparkly than a another designer setting i looked at that had 2 pointers yesterday, so I am leaning towards buying it.... but I remain horrified by the prices.
I understand platinum is rare, whatever, but can someone explain to me the inflated price for white gold settings?
