hello! Ages ago I sought some advice about having a jeweler create a pair of Tiffany victoria studs. The general consensus was that I should buy Tiffany as finding 8 marquise with no bow tie and all matching could be difficult...
Well my jeweler has sourced 8 marquise - I will attach pic. But he has quoted me $6500 for total carat weight of 0.62 e/f vs marquise set in platinum. For same size (Tiffany is 0.64ctw) is $8550 (this is all Aussie dollars).
Do I spend an extra $2k on the real deal, keep looking second hand (which is proving hard to find) or maybe ask him to drop his colour since they are earrings and bring the price down?
