Eve's Custom Jewelry & Repair

Eve's advertises itself as specialists in custom jewelry. Today I took 5 large loose gemstones, each between 80-130 carats in size. The head lady was at lunch and, once she returned, had a customer appointment ahead me. After waiting 35-45 min, I laid out my selection of gemstones and was quickly told they were too large, too labour intensive to make as sterling silver mounted pendants. The price to mount one gemstone, an oval Madeira Citrine, would be $500 and would take 6-8 weeks. "We get busy around the holidays." Needless to say Eve's won't be getting my business. $3,000 to mount 6 large pendants in sterling silver??? Maybe Eve's is inexpensive for some but not from my experience today. Personally I can't recommend their services.
