    When I buy a stone at wholesale, how much of a markup should there
    be on the stone itself when put in a setting? My son-in-law picked up
    some emeralds in his home country of Venezuela and asked me to set
    and sell them. We'd split the profit. I don't have a clue how much to
    mark up the stone for his cost to cover all bases. Any help would be
    appreciated. Spring has sprung in New York State Lisa
