echelon6 Cut Rock Total Posts: 242 Last Post: 8/13/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2007	Check out Mark's new work, the Torchiere: Flame / Sunburst Hybrid The man is a genius craftsman Look at the symmetry of his work... his hand work is so precise I'd trust him to do brain surgery Seriously, each prong might only be a few microns off. His work is LOUPE CLEAN!

His work is LOUPE CLEAN! This is no joke. On my new sunburst, each prong is set at exactly the same point on the crown facets. It's true art. beau13 - Mark will not sell empty mounts. ETA: I mean, he creates the setting per your stone measurements and prefers to set and complete the product.

ladyciel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,379 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 3/24/2007	The pricing on Mark's work depends on the size of the ring and stone (bigger ring size and bigger stone mean more metal is necessary). However, I am guessing (based on other prices for his work) that ring is close to 2000 just for the setting if made in platinum. You must supply your own center stone, and Mark sources his own accent stones. You can find a lot of info on his site, www.mwmjewelry.com. ********************** Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Brontë

I am shopping for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. Do you have any idea how much that setting is? It's stunning. Hi friend, welcome! Glad to hear you joined cos of my thread I can confirm his settings cost around the $2k mark for platinum. I'm currently getting my stone set in the Flame setting with accent diamonds for $2.1k - stone is 7.5mm in diameter It varies per stone, but won't vary by much. The main cost is not the materials, but the labour, which doesn't vary much per differences in ring / stone size Save yourself a bit of time and just go for a MWM if you want the best in terms of workmanship. Other more common platinum settings are around the $1.2k mark, but are not loupe clean in terms of symmetry and overall finish. That's ok if that doesn't bug you, but it bugs the hell out of me and some others here!

ekynox Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 10/5/2007 Member Since: 8/27/2007	Thank you for the kind welcome. The setting is beautiful, but I simply will not be able to purchase that. Sadly, it is out of my price range (I would be shopping for gold though). Perhaps someday though.

gemgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,531 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	I'm so happy that someone finally asked the question about price regarding Mark Morrell's designs. I've been an admirer of his impeccable work for quite some time. I've only seen his settings for round brilliants though. How do you think he'd do with a pear shape? Does he do fancy shapes? BTW, living on Long Island's North Shore where thin air is so expensive, $2,000.- is very reasonable for perfection.

lyra Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,763 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/13/2007	I'm strongly favouring this setting for a solitaire. The price is very reasonable considering the quality of workmanship. I wouldn't hesitate to do this. I have one question though. Is it possible to get a WB that will sit flush with these settings?

I'm sure Mark could make one. There's one on the boards around here that he made to match the Sunburst - one sec...

Its been a few weeks, and will probably be a few weeks more - the wait is agony... And he's very hard to get a hold of as well - haven't been answering calls / returning emails
