[Jewelry making - Article 00202] - [Orchid] Pricing according to Geller's book

Hello, everybody,

    I've been doing tradework, and I used Mr. Geller's book as a basis
    for my prices, and all I got last week was complaints about the
    costs. Apparently, jewelers in my area are in bidding wars with each
    other. It's a real dogfight. 

    I was told last week that Mr. Geller's prices are three times too
    high and that he based his book on what Tiffany's charges. It
    doesn't feel true. 

    Meanwhile, I'm expected to take 50 cents for setting a 7x5 oval in a
    6mm round setting. The guy left the price tag on the ring, he's
    asking well over three thousand for it. I'm not looking to get rich
    quick, but I have the sneaky feeling I'm being taken advantage of.
    Am I wrong here? 

Thank you,
Susannah Page-Garcia
