Hi...you'd better sit down for this one ....The standard retail jewelry store's mark up is between 800 and 1000 percent. I probably should have warned you to have phone in hand if calling 911 for heart attack was necessary. Try a pawnshop instead... they usually charge just a bit over market for gold and diamonds, and not at all for coloured stones. With a little effort and self-education, you can sometimes make more than you spent! Hope you've recovered from the answer to your question...smile...All the best to you!

at kay jewelers the actual 'cost' of the item is multiplied by three. So for instance the Neil Lane Bridal Piece listed for 7,000 actually only costed 2,500'ish. Which at Kay jewelry their employees get items at cost. If you like your gems, best bet is to get a job there to get the best price!
