Hello everyone,
I posted about a year ago looking for help with an engagement ring. This site was an invaluable resource during that process, and I'm hoping it can be again!
I recently inherited a .75ct transition cut diamond. I had two local jewelers look at it and both love the stone (probably F-G color, no flaws under magnification--at least vs1).
So here's the problem. I have very little money, but I don't want this to sit unused in a drawer. It is currently in a pin that is probably no longer safe to wear. My Fiance would like a pendant. Our first thought was a thin pave halo. But the local jeweler wants $3000 just for the setting! My e-ring setting was much less and has 8 pointers!
We could just get a plain setting and put it on a chain, but by the time we're done with the actually material and setting costs, plus insurance, it still won't be cheap. And it won't be exactly what we want. So are there any other options? We'd like to keep it below $800. Is that possible?
