Good Morning all,
I recently purchased a fancy colored diamond and would like to have it mounted in a pendant.
You can see the diamond here:

I picked out a Stuller 9 stone cluster pendant from the catalog at my local jeweler. My jeweler wants $1400 for 18k gold or $1600 for platinum for this setting. It seems high to me as I am providing the center stone. Each of the 8 side stones would run about $50 a piece retail (2.4mm) and I can't imagine the metal and labor being an additional $900 being that it's a stock setting. I haven't been able to find anything online for comparison.
You can see the setting here:

Do you think the price is reasonable?
Thank you,
Susie
