Price of gold impacting jewelry prices?

[Gayletmom]

I''m wondering what you jewelry experts think-will the falling price of gold and/or the general bad state of the economy result in lower prices for 18k over the next 3-6 months?

I''ve followed some of the discussions about diamond prices and am wondering about settings, etc.

What do you think?

don''t matter much unless your setting weights 10 oz.
