vatche x-prong question

[EringNoob]

Hi PS community,

Does anyone know how much a vatche x-prong solitaire setting would cost in both white gold and platinum? Thanks in advance all!

Here''s what Winfield''s quoted for me for the Vatche X-prong on 7/28/08 (so metal prices might have fluctuated since then)

WG - $1,072
Plat. - $1952

I''m pretty sure they will all be the same. I think they have to go with what the designer wants.

When I checked in July it was $982.00, in 18K white gold @ GOG.
The Pave X prong in 18K white gold was $ 1,562.00....

Also check Excel diamonds....seems their Vatche setting prices are a smidge cheaper.....but GOG definitely has the service to make up for the slight uptick. Like Ellen said.....the prices are pretty much set by Vatche....and the diamond vendors add in their small margin.

For the record, the price we quoted includes the postage and Insurance of the diamond to and from Vatche, and the shipping to the client. It is necessary to have Vatche set the diamond to maintain their warranty. The shipping and insurance actually costs us more than we charge.

All of us are basically charging the same minimum price when you get right down to it, otherwise Vatche will yank their line from us.
