Hi,
I cannot find a band to fit flush against my ering. The only band that works is a tiffany platinum band that costs way too much for too little platinum ($800 smackaroos). My setting is in white gold and I would prefer to have white gold since i heard about platinum wearing down other softer metals.
So I contacted J. Escobar and after several attempts of trying to get a quote or price range...I finally got one. $300-400 on a simple white band. My question is this. How often will a jeweler quote you and later give you a higher price? Is this price reasonable? I don''t want to start the process and see it''s only a couple hundred dollars less than the tiffany platinum band.
Does anyone here have a jeweler that does custom work in the bay area?
thanks again.....
