How common is a setting fee. I worked with a jeweler in NY; he didnt charge one.
I spoke to another with a high quality sapphire I purchased. They want a $200-800 setting fee depending on the stone. Is this industry standard? I cant imagine paying $800 plus the setting just for the setting of the stone?
Also talked with another jeweler on a mokume band; he charges a setting fee whether you get the stone from him or not?
