Re mount setting idea.. THOUGHTS?

[AntiqueLover]

I think $2500 seems pretty reasonable for a setting that intricate, that price goes mostly towards labor and the skill of the craftsmen making the ring. Very low prices on intricate pieces often result in a loss of quality in materials and construction.

Trust me.. I agree that $2500 is a reasonable price. But unfortunately, my husband is currently working 2 jobs to pay for a 16k loan we took out to cover IVF.. and we have a vehicle down atm.. replacing my e ring mounting was unexpected, and we just don't have that kind of money right now. I asked around about the vendor and checked the BBB.. So.. if people here think that the vendors work is good quality, then why not go with the lower price?

So, is your inquiry to replace your e-ring mounting need or a want? Not that I care how you spend your money, but you've mentioned that your husband is working two jobs, etc. and if the ring is a want (as opposed to a need), then perhaps it might be wise to wait until your budget allows for a little more flexibility?

Update: I read your other threads and saw that you mentioned that your setting is cracked, so it sounds like you need to replace. Sorry to hear that Have your looked at ERD?

I'm sorry.. what's ERD? I'm new here and not familiar with the vendors etc
