Morning!

I know PH is the source of all wisdom, so where better place to as I have haven't a clue what I'm doing!

I'm in the process of having an engagement ring done, and am after some advice as to what I should be paying. I have three diamonds already, family heirlooms, that need to be set into a ring.

Basically, what should I be charged, roughly? My options are white gold or platinum, and I don't have a budget as such, as I don't know what this sort of thing costs! I've an appointment with a family recommended jeweler on Wednesday, so want to go in with some knowledge of what a reasonable amount is.

Any help is much appreciated, it's new territory for me!

ecain63 did exactly this for me earlier this year, I gave him a brief, supplied the stones and a few weeks later the ring arrived, superb communication throughout.

i was very happy both in terms of price & quality of product & service.

The price comes down to what you are having done. A ring isn't just a ring in the sense that a car isn't just a car.

Materials, design, off the shelf or handmade. All make the difference between a few hundred pounds or a couple of thousand.
