Wedding Band helop

[rickpiwo]

Hello ALL! I need some expert help with purchasing my fiancees wedding band. I was quoted 1925.00 for 9 stones at G-H color, VS2-SI1 clarity and would average .08-.09 ct each. To me, that does sound a little high.....So I have two questions.....1. Does that seem fair

or inflated

? 2. Would 7 or 9 stones better compliment her engagemet ring which is : round brilliant, 1.25pts, I color, VS2 Clarity, Excellent/Ideal cut.

I''m going to go to another jeweler tomorrow as well as some online research.

THANKS!

Rick

have you considered calling one of the vendors that are listed here? I bought a an eternity band from whiteflash with their famous ACA stones. They have lots of diamond bands that can be made with their ACA stones.

Is the price that was quoted to you for a platinum band? Was this a jewelry store? Prices will be inflated at the brick and mortar...that''s why I buy online...get better deals.

BTW I worked with Chris Gonzales at Whiteflash for my eternity band..and he was a pleasure to work with.

This is 90 pts in plat (9 stone) from a recommended PS vendor ...$1725

I think as long as the 7 go all the way across the top of her finger than 7 is enough (but it depends on the
size of the stones).

here is the 7 stone at 73 points in plat for $1480

Just some prices to give you an idea.

I have the 7 stone 73 point band (to go with the matching ering). The stones cover the top of my finger completely - I wear a size 6. I would highly recommend The Facets Collection.

Whiteflash ACAs in 7 stone in white gold .75 ctw $1495

http://www.whiteflash.com/golden-wardrobe/Gold_Details.aspx?ItemCode=WF-AP1157Pt-35&CategID=10

Same thing in plat is $2395 (yikes!) - $900 more for plat doesnt sound right to me

I''ve
seen $300, $500 and $600 more for plat (then white gold) for 5 stone settings but never $900!
(you might could call them on that and ask if that is the correct price because I''ve heard prices are coming
down).

Thanks for the advice! Would it be rude to buy a 7 stone, and if she doesnt like it, return it?
