K guys need some advice - I keep hearing that what you pay for is the rock, not the setting, and that I shouldn''t spend too much money on the setting. The thing is, I got a good deal on the rock, so I figured I''d put a little more into the setting. However, the setting that she and I both love is the solasfera semi-mount at GOG (great place): http://www.goodoldgold.com/setting/SF-LMJ00481/
The problem is, the price of the setting is almost 1/2 the price of what I paid for the center rock! Is that too much? Do you guys know of similar looking settings w/o solasfera diamonds that may be less expensive? We looked at GOG''s settings but this one was the only one we liked from there.
Also, the center rock is a .81 VS1 E with excellent polish and symetry, so it''s quite brilliant though small. However, we are talkin solasfera on the sides - do you think the setting would distract too much from the centerpiece?
