I inherited a necklace that has diamonds from my grandmother's engagement ring and wedding band. The largest stone is about 3/4 carat. I'm unsure what the other 6 stones are in terms of size.
I want to reset the necklace into a scatter type/Tiffany DBTY. I've asked our family jeweler to redo it for me. She explained that the cost of gold is very high right now (I want the necklace in white gold) and the labor is high since every diamond has to be bezel set.
Even though I am supplying all the diamonds and the existing white gold, the jeweler quoted me $1,400 to redo the necklace. Does this seem reasonable?
