My girlfriend and I have been looking at rings and she fell in love with one at H. Stern when we were visting New York. It is just sooooo expensive for what it is. I have seen some somewhat similar settings but nothing really close and I think it would be hard to have custom made. I asked to buy just the setting and they said absolutely not. I even suggested paying $6k for just the setting and the answer was still no. Anyone have any suggestions? Could this perhaps be cheaper if purchased in Brazil (where H. Stern is from)? Would they have the same designs there? Is it me is this pricing REALLY high - a 2.05 F color radiant VS2 with 2 side trilliants (.4 TCS) for $31k. I really appreciate any help and advise.
