Hello all, I have a question about an engagement ring. I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend in the next few weeks, and I have the engagement ring/wedding band (soldered together) of my late grandmother. The rings are made of platinum, and each band has two diamonds set in them, one on each side of the 2 carat diamond. Also, the ring is currently a size 7, but my girlfriend's finger is a size 4.5. I went to a jeweler today and was told that the whole process (unsoldering, resizing both rings, refinishing the rings, resetting the side diamonds, and fully cleaning the diamond/ring) will be $450. I was just wondering if this seems like a fair price. It was a very pleasant experience and I do trust the jewelers there. However, I have looked briefly online and it seems that this might be a little pricey. Please let me know your thoughts.

Can you post some images as it will give us an idea how the ring would look as you gonna change it from size 7 to 4.5.
