The setting is from good old gold. They have two that we like, and we prefer the halo of one more than the other. So maybe I'll ask for a quote on the other one as well.
I'm not sure where else to get quotes since we are looking at good old gold, but I'll
Check it out. I think the other places I've seen with similar settings have .2 or .3 in the setting. That includes Tiffany's, I think they have .2 on the soleste.
Ahhhh pleaseee don't let his savings take a huge hit for a ring. You never know what major expenses are ahead and he is just getting out of school

I've talked to him about looking at a smaller diamond, but he won't consider it. He's always had the same budget, but going somewhere other than Tiffany's we get more for our money... And with what we like we save about 50%...
I feel bad and I feel guilty, but he wants to spend the money once he starts working because he can save the money again in another year or two...
The price sounds reasonable to me. When I upgraded we saw pave halo settings that were in the $8k range and not as pretty as that one. Soo exciting!!
Don't feel guilty, it's a completely useless emotion that's getting in the way of enjoying a wonderful time in your life!

If you like the halo and are sure you'll be happy with that long term, get what you want. I would contact Leon Mege, Steven Kirsch and Victor Canera for pricing of the same style ring and see where they fall in. They'll likely be much higher but that gives you an idea. You're not just paying for metal and diamonds there, you're paying for a LOT of time to set all those stones. Leon is not as pliable with "wish lists" and "demands" so keep that in mind. He is known for doing things HIS way regardless of the contract. I know Swanky had a great experience with him, as did a few others, but if I am paying someone that much, what I say goes, esp when we all know it's structurally sound. Steven is very nice, and fantastic, as is Victor Canera.

I looked at a few settings on white flash by Leon and one was 4 something with .3 or .4 in the setting, and another was around 6000 for .6 something carats. So I guess the price for the setting is reasonable. My boyfriend thinks it is actually. We're getting a quote on the other setting and seeing if we can combine the two, the thinner band, and the more delicate halo. She sent me some pictures that don't look at nice as the video do that made me nervous. I might prefer the first one we

To make the setting? Typically 3-4 weeks for most custom settings, some places can do under 3, others are 8 even. But since you're not literally going to buy right now, the timeline right now is moot. When you're going to make the purchase, they'll be able to tell you how their production schedule is, not to mention we're in prime Valentines Proposal window right now.

Yeah that's a good point. I just want to get as much information as I can for my boyfriend but he can figure it all out. All I want and need to know is if they can combine the halo from the second one into the first one. I just need to sit on the two rings and see which we love
