Thought I liked this setting, but...

I guess I don’t like it as much as I thought.

Maybe I will just leave my stone as is it, for a while longer.

Omg...You could pay a few hundred more and have David Klass make one very similiar....and set your stone included..

 

[PreRaphaelite]

To be clear... the setting labor charge is $303 NOT INCLUDING the actual metal mount. So the mount is between $500 and $1500 depending on gold or platinum... and then $303 labor to have the stone set.

Highway robbery!

 

[MamaBee]

Ridiculous!

 

[jbake]

Wow. That’s a lot

Stuller has a couple similar findings. I’m not sure they’re expressly for pendants, but I’d think a jeweler could string a chain through (possibly with minimal modifications)

Yeah.... people usually have a smaller setting fee if you sign a waiver.
