Hi Everyone - Thanks for responding to my previous post on setting my marquise stone. I have decided on a design I really like where the marquise will be set in a puffy bezel and next to the bezel will be a bezel set trillion shaped diamond on each side. I don't have a CAD photo or I would share it in this post. Well, anyway, the jeweler has informed me that the trillion diamonds will weigh approximately .75ct tw - could be more or could be less depending on mm measurements, which I totally understand. He then said that the price would be approximately $2750 for just the trillions - could even be a little higher, and maybe a little lower. WOW, I nearly fell out of my seat. The marquise is a 1.50 ct J color, so I don't need colorless trillions - just near colorless like the stone - I J or even K. Then add in the mounting and labor for an extra $2350 - I am just dumbfounded.
I guess what I'm getting at is: Does this seem excessively high to all you PSers? Anyone have a ring with trillions that can shed some light? I realize diamonds are quite high right now, and a matched pair will command a premium, but $2750 or more? Hopefully somebody can tell me whether I'm about to be taken for a ride or whether this is in fact a legitimate ballpark price for two trillion diamonds weighing .75 +/- ct tw.
Many thanks!
