Is this price reasonable? Help!

[minniezhang]

Hello everyone! Happy Good Friday!

I recently upgraded my ring, so I plan to convert my old ring to a pendant. Since now I can’t visit local jewelry stores, I asked Whiteflash to give me a quote. They quoted $400 for the work (including the 16in necklace). Do you think it’s reasonable? Here’s the picture of my old ring:

And this is what I envisioned the pendant looks like:

So what do you think? Is this price reasonable? Thanks!

Is this for 14k or platinum?

Btw, its stunning! Excellent idea!

Are you having them revise the prongs into claws?

I’m asking that question now. I bet it’s 14k though.

Haha thanks!

No, I didn’t make that request. I think they are keeping the halo as is.

It is stunning! What a fun project.

Ha I was wrong! It will be in platinum.

$400 sounds fair to me.

$400 sounds fair to me.

Thanks! I just have no idea how much it should cost

I'm just guessing, but to remove the diamond from the setting and remount it into a pendant + a PT chain sounds fair to me.

Sounds fair to me as well! You will have a beautiful pendant!
