advice for a missing marquis dark sapphire on heirloom ring

[pinkchampers]

my awesome mother has kindly gifted me a family heirloom sapphire ring in white gold (worn on my wedding dress as something blue)

it has 7 sapphires with middle stone as largest and 3 smaller sapphires (size of smaller ones are approximately 1/4 of a dime each) on both sides - the sapphires are all in a beautiful deep blue marquis cut and one of the 7 sapphires (smaller size) is missing

we went to a local, family owned jeweler who told us it was harder to source marquis cut and would call when found - they just called and gave a quote of $150 to replace + set stone and $75 to size ring to fit - I believe the price seems quite fair - have no photos to show as ring with jeweler and should have taken some but mom (in 80's) wanted to go spur of moment so off we went - love jewelry hence why here and especially love colored gemstones over diamonds - any advice as to fairness of price, how to know to best sapphire or any other advice that might be important to know?

thank y'all so much!

Bumping for you but with no dimensions and no pictures it’s going to be hard to give any good advice. A quick search gives this :

I would send it to David Klass for repair. He can have one of his cutters cut you a sapphire that will match.
