Hello All...I was browsing online and came across a small 7x5mm oval sapphire. It was very pretty and I fell in love with it, so I bought it without much of a plan. After some though, I think I would like to mount it on a diamond halo ring. And now I have sooooo many questions:
1. I came across something called "Easy Mount", but it's kind of gimmicky, so I stayed away. Is this actually a viable option???
2. I also thought about buying a setting from Blue Nile or James Allen, then have a local jeweler set it. Is this cost efficient?
3. Can I send the stone to BN or JA and have them set it?
4. How much should I budget for such a halo setting(maybe in 18K white gold)?
5. And how much do I pay for a jewel setter to set this?
Am I about to fall into a money black hole???? what have I done????
