anyone know when Whiteflash might drop their prices to reflect market value?

They have dropped custom prices. I assume stock pieces will follow once their stock has run out...but I would expect it to take longer.

good to know! Thanks. I wonder if that will be weeks or months. I think I will give them a call. I''ll let you know if I find out anything.

Say you paid in full for a custom piece months and months ago prior to the drop but you haven''t made anything yet. Do you feel it is approriate to ask if there is a partial refund due to the platinum price drops?

In my point of view, if it were the other way around (i.e. I had a quote for $x and I paid in full) and then the price of the metal I ordered went up later, I would be peeved if the store came to me and asked me to pay the difference in increase! So, I think you shouldn''t expect businesses to be that charitable when it is the other way. To me, it''s like signing a contract. You stick with it, good or bad.

Maybe asking for a credit towards a band will fair better?

If the platinum prices went up after you did not make a decision for months, I won't be surprised if the jeweler will ask for more money.

I am looking at KITKO and am I reading this right. Gold at 724 and platinum at 757? I am looking to get a tennis bracelet. Does this affect the price of like a stuller mount?

don''t forget when you are comparing prices that platinum is heavier, so it will still cost more even if the prices per ounce are the same.
