It doesn't seem very difficult and the quote she gave seems very reasonable for the custom work. She said it would be between $620-$720 depending on the amount of stones needed, etc. My other photos of the ring aren't uploading, but I did find this one that shows the side of the ring, sorry if it is blurry.

I do like the picture you sketched though. Have you seen lots of work by the jeweler that gave you the quote? Would it be
done with CAD so you can see the profile and how the attachement would look? Those would be my main concerns.

Mine too.
LD: Perhaps I am too cynical, but we see so many people pop on here with poor jobs done by local benches, I think people should proceed with caution when trying new things with a jeweler. OP if you can see exampled of this type of work your jeweler has done before, great. If not, then it is a bit of a gamble.
