Hi New Friends,
I''ve spent so much time lately reading this forum, that you almost feel like family. Strange eh?
To business: I bought a princess cut stone from Diamond Source VA (1.2 carat, H, VS1) and I''ve been looking for a simple, elegant, baguette setting in either platinum or white gold. So far I really like the Dimend Scaasi princess-tapered baguette with rounded shoulders in platinum (only 1600!), but they only sell complete rings....

Sooo, I went to a local jeweler in my area (NC) and showed him the Dimend Scaasi photo. He seems to be a great guy, but the prices are so much higher: same sort of setting with 2.75-5.5-2.0 mm baguettes on either side (20-25pts each) is 3k in white gold. I''m leaning towards going with him, but I wanted to ask you all if you think that is a fair price for a custom-made ring.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
