Hi

    I would like to know if it's worth to buy an expensive ($600)
    handmade socket for a cheap stone ($50). 

    The stone looks very good (pink topaz in heart shape) in my opinion
    but I don't know if I should spend so much on a socket for it or
    rather wait and buy a more expensive stone which fits better a
    handmade socket. 

Thank you for your help.
