So you''ve all probably seen my quest for the perfect ring, which led me to some setting shopping at a local B&M jeweler that several friends and my mom have been to with very happy results. I found a gorgeous setting that is a well crafted semi-mount that just might work if my FF agrees. Here''s the thing -- they quoted me $2600 for the ring in 18K white gold (lots of pave and a gorgeous art deco style gallery) as is for the one she has in the case, OR if they had to order it special depending on whether or not my (eventual) stone would fit, assuming it wouldn''t be off by too much. Here''s the kicker - just for giggles (because platinum seems out of my range for the current market pricing) I asked her for a price to do the ring in platinum -- she quotes me:
$7200????????????????????????
Now, I kinda played dumb and said "well that seems outrageous, platinum is normally maybe 750-1K over white gold and she looked at me (very very young) and said "Oh no, platinum is normall 3 times what white gold is" HELLO!?!?!?!?
Is it me, or is that NUTS?
