This trully is a beauty... So happy 4 you...Was it very costly to have it cut? Also if you would share with us the cost of making this ring... I have a stone similar to this one and it sure looks great... Thanks so much...

 

[Dee Jay]

The first recutting cost me $125, and the second recutting was $40 (but the jeweler whose assistant dropped it the second time took that off the cost of resetting the stone).

As for the ring; the whole thing was about $6,000 (if I recall correctly). The sapphire itself was only $1,580 (based on what I''ve learned since then I must have stumbed across some sort of deal because it should have been a lot more). The balance was the diamonds, the platinum, and the cost of the work. Keep in mind this was 4 years ago and I think prices have gone up since then.

Would love to see your stone, Scarleta. Do you have any pics?

 

[scarleta]

Thanks so much Yes I do have a pic l ... looks similar to yours..( it cost me far more than you paid) Is yours heat treated?. Your seeting is great... If I figure out how to put this picture here I will share it with you...Surely one day I will figure it out hopefully soon...I am thinking of setting mine like yours it trully looks far better than mine...

 

[Dee Jay]

Scarleta - I''m sure yours is beautiful and I would love to see pics!

As for heat treated... I honestly didn''t ask when I bought it, but I''m pretty certain that it must be, just based on the low price, don''t you think?

 

[scarleta]

Probably was mine was heat treated too ... From what I have learned ( could be dead wrong) it is expected that a great sapphire is heat treated and the price is the same? Who cares if you are happy with it ? Right? Were you concerned that they may chip it when re setting? l

 

[Dee Jay]

No concerns at all about the setter chipping it (he is truly a master), but concerned about every other possible scenario -- like even getting it across the counter and into the hands of the setter!!! (I hope you read my original original thread or that won''t make any sense at all!)

 

[scarleta]

Hello : no I have not read your original post only parts of it ( sounded like a horror story) I wll go back to it and read all of it soon.. Thanks and I promise when I figure out how to put the pic of mine here I will post it...( if only there was a site like this one for computer tutorials)
