Platinum Settings ..prices

[jewels2]

I have another question

I checked with JA about their 6 prong Tiffany style setting and the price is $1250. The price for this setting at Whiteflash is $675.

Why such a difference?

Are these the settings?

If so, the JA one is closer to a true Tiffany replica, it's a more labor-intensive setting made to fit your stone. The WF one has a peg head, literally a separate head that they connect to a band. So you are paying for the labor and likely more metal in the JA setting.

These are not the same setting at all, in other words.

This WF one is closer to the JA one you're looking at ($1295 in plat):

Conversely, here is a JA peg-head one, though 4 prongs instead of 6 ($680 in plat):

The prongs are quite different and the WF ones likely require more work.
