I want to replace these CZ with genuine stones, so I knocked one out and it measured at 1.4mm
My plan is to do it myself, but it doesn't seem like it would be easy enough for me to do - so I'll probably end up paying for professional help.

I guess my question is, what should I expect to pay from a decent or reputable jeweler for doing something like this?
I bet this is a very vague question including a bunch of variables so hopefully I can narrow it down.

Each petal requires 22 stones to fill.
There 12 petals total.
So 264 total just for the petals
The mouth has 29 stones.
The face has 133 yellow stones plus 2 bigger black ones for the eyes

428 total

The face has a graduation of sizes for yellow stones starting from 1.4mm down to an unmeasured size.
The black eyes are the biggest stones, I do not have a measurement for them yet either.

I will be purchasing the 428 stones needed to refill this piece.
The base material is 10k Yellow gold.

Scenario 1: If there was no gold to solder or add - what would your quote be?
Scenario 2: Some prongs (1 - 29) needed gold material soldered/added - what would your quote be?
Scenario 3: Many prongs (30 - 300+) needed gold material soldered/added - what would your quote be?
Scenario 4: All the prongs needed gold material soldered/added - what would your quote be?

Sorry if this all seems confusing, I'm getting exhausted just typing it lol.
