Hello Price Scope community,
I am here seeking advice on my current journey for a specific diamond and setting. Any help is appreciated and graciously thank you in advance.
First, a little about me, I am marrying my college sweetheart and seeking the perfect ring to solidify my devotion to her. We are young-professionals, myself a business strategist and she's a lovely teacher for 30 2nd graders. To keep it short, we're young and very much in love.
Currently, I am seeking an elongated cushion cut diamond, and for the setting, halo with a single shank pave on the bolder side -- not delicate. I was referred to a reputable jeweler in the area (non-commercialized) and has quoted ~$3,500 for the setting and ~$6,600 for a 1.2ct diamond[*]. I've attached a few images for examination.
My questions/concerns:
1. Is the band a reasonable price? She stated a little customization will be needed and will match the halo/pave stone quality with diamond quality -- Platinum chunky single pave and halo
2. The diamond price seems to be high for the specs -- GIA, H, SI1,1.20CT
3. Thoughts about buying stone elsewhere and purchasing setting through jeweler?
4. Thoughts/feedback?
Pictures:
I will be taking the halo from top ring and band from the one directly below.
