around how much will a jewler charge to set a loose diamond in a ring?

i already have the ring and the loose diamond

It depends on where you take it, the size of the stone and the setting. I have a channel set blue topaz ring that is missing a side prong tiny diamond (less than 1/4 carat) and the jeweler wanted $100 to set the diamond. (if they aren’t selling you either than they have to make their money somehow).

Good luck. And if nothing else I would make sure that you shop around. Don’t just go somewhere because it’s cheapest…check their quality of work and see what kind of guarantees they offer included in the price.
