Question
opal / diamond pendant
We have a opal that is 1/2 X 3/4 inch with a flat back. We are looking for someone that can mount it in a gold "Pentant setting". Something fairly standard and simple, opal held by prongs/fingers and a loop for the chain. See picture attached, however no diamond.
AnswerHi Wayne...that is such a basic design most any goldsmith
could do it..I would get 2 prices or more..that is a guess because Im used to Thai prices
(much cheaper)..really should not cost
much more than $50 labor...you will have to decide between 14K and 18 K gold..
should only be couple grams of gold.....be sure to discuss the fact that opals are very soft and break easily...
You may want to call GIA in Carlbads Ca...and ask if they have any listings of goldsmith near you...
Regards Rolfe
