First time poster! I didn't see a similar post so hopefully I can get clarity here. We found a 1920s platinum setting for a good price. The center stone is .22ct but I have a half carat mine cut I inherited. Will adjusting the size of the prongs to accommodate the bigger diamond be a huge deal breaker? Is that an easy fix? It also looks like the current diamond may be a bit more oval shaped, but my diamond is a regular shaped round stone.
Any advice on if we are getting in over our heads? Will we also expect to pay out the nose for this?
A second question too - there is also a white gold ring that is similar pricing and already set for a half carat stone. I believe it is also from the 1920s. If I have a sensitivity to nickel should this worry me? I assume older rings were not dipped in rhodium like modern rings are?
Thanks in advance!
