the smallest stone that Tiff sells in their setting is something like .25c I think. So the $970 would be for a stone around that size. thing is, if you buy that $970 setting, you'd have to have a stone that size set into it. modifying the head to be larger just won't happen if the stone is much larger. it's too much of a modification and would most likely distort the setting and then you lose what you paid for in the first place. MAYBE you could get away with something like a .50c in that setting with slight head modifications. But I don't know...tampering with your prize mule could get you kicked! ![]() considering that say..the markup on Tiff stuff is around 40% higher than your average H&A stone and standard $600 platinum setting...I would estimate that the SETTING itself is worth about that extra 40%. Since that IS what people are paying for most of the time...not the stone itself but rather the setting and stone, the package deal.

No offense but don't buy from Tiffany's. They totally jack you on price and the quality really isn't stellar. You can get a better stone, cheaper and an almost identical setting elsewhere.
Im biased as I had a horrible experience with tiffany jewelry last year and will never patronize them outside of the occasional mail-order keyring. And to show off my rock that looks better than anything they have. |

The pricing parameters on the UK site says they start from £725 ($1305), and £6525 ($11,745)for a 1 carat diamond. after reading what some of the Americans have posted, I checked the US site, and it is $970 and $8800!!! I think I will take my gf to NY, to the Tiffany store there - it will work out way cheaper!!! plus, it might be even more romantic
