Been left a diamond in a will - how do I get it amde into a ring?

[LyraSilvertongue]

Anyone had one made? Roughly how much did it cost?

it very much depends what you want - gold/platinum etc

will you be using other stones as well in the setting?

if you are in/near London i would go to Hatton Garden and get some designs\prices

So not H Samuel then?

a good independent jeweler.

My enguagement ring was made for me (the diamond was passed down the family).

It cost us about £200-£300 to get a very simle fitting made up, and that was 20 years ago

£200-£300? That's quite a lot.

He still got me on the cheap!

Would think it could be that. It cost £270 to get one of the diamonds reset in my engagement ring and that was 5 years ago. (Insurance covered it though)

I bought my mum a Ruby for her 50th birthday last year and she had it put into a ring.

She found a local jeweller who did it and she saved a bit of money as he let her take in some old jewellery and melted it down to use in the ring.
So she had it done for £200 in total and that included having 2 little diamonds set into it.

Have you though about how you want it setting?

Not really, something fairly modern.
I'm hoping actually that DP might suggest we get it made into an engagement ring...

awww

Start having a look at some jewellers for ideas.

Thanks for your help ladies
