Hi All,

I found a setting that I really like.  It is a Rina Limor setting.  It is quoted as 1600 but they say that they will give it to me for 1000.  This setting is 18K white gold.  I told them that I want platinum.  They say that they can contact Rina Limor for a custom one, and they say that it will at least 2k total. Does it cost around 1k to upgrade from 18k to platinum?

Perhaps they are giving you a better price on the ring which is in-stock because they don't have to order one and therefore clear some existing inventory... Like an incentive to buy the in-stock piece.  And/or the price might be based on the last price point 'suggested' by the manufacturer and the price on the new ring is based on a new price since it is new stock... Gold and platinum prices have been steadily increasing, so stock already owned by the store is likely to reflect a better price.

I am trying to gauge that style against the Nouveau from BlueNile.  I got EPD for 1300. I would rather go for the platinum than the 18K.

What do you think?
