I recently purchased a 1 carat stone online and purchased the setting from a local B & M jeweler in the DC area. Because I didn''t buy the stone from them they are quoting me $350 to have the stone set. I called a couple other jewelers and the lowest quote I''ve gotten is so far is $270. Others have told me they need to view the stone and setting before giving me a quote. I feel like the quotes I got are overpriced, or is it just the norm since I didn''t buy the stone from them? I''m wondering what my options are and how much I should be paying. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
