    Of course prices vary by area. It's far more expensive to have a
    shop in New York City than it is elsewhere. However if they are
    living and working in NYC then their salaries should be equivalently
    higher. My older son started work as an artist's assistant in NYC at
    double what he could have earned here in Boston. However, IMHO, price
    should not be the driving force here. They should get something that
    makes them happy. Jewelry is all about making someone happy. If they
    have seen a design they like and it's going to make her happy to wear
    it for the next 50 years then my feeling is they should just pony up
    the dough and enjoy it. The price of gold is having a larger and
    larger impact as well so everyone at the moment should be expecting
    to pay more for their jewelry (just like they are all paying more for
    their gasoline).
