What are the price thresholds between entry level, mid grade, and fine jewelry? I'm looking around and with a budget of $300-$600 for a ring or a necklace with one gem and little tiny diamonds around it. Is this price level something that I can feel good about spending that will last? Is it better to save up for the $1500-$3000 level stuff that will be around forever and hold it's value.

Even a less expensive piece can be rebuilt in case of damage provided that it was built well at first. I was looking at building a custom ring, the center stone would be a pink heart shaped stone. The local jeweler has two options, pink tourmaline ($100-$600) and pink sapphire ($900-$1,300). The jeweler told me the tourmaline is much cheaper, but also softer. This is going to be a wear everyday ring, and am wondering just how much better the sapphire is in terms of durability and practicality in the event of repair.
