Hi All,
I wasn't sure if I should post this in RT or CS but here we go.
I found an image of a ring that I fell in love with and I want to recreate it. The center stone is actually a brown diamond but I want to do a brown colored stone instead (well I'd love to do a brown diamond but it might be a bit pricey).
Here's my thoughts - I don't know exactly how much the setting is going to cost, but I'm estimating $1500 to $2500 (I'm waiting to hear back from BGD on a quote).
The stone - depending on which type I go with, it would be between $200 - $500, there is one other possibility but I don't know how much it would be yet, I would guess $500 to $1000.
I guess I just don't know if it makes sense to spend $2K +/- on a setting for only a $500 stone. Should the value of a colored stone be more in proportion to the setting? This would be my first venture into colored stones and I don't know what's typical.
Thanks in advance for your help!
