I just got a new 6 prong setting for my new diamond and i noticed that the 6 prongs are not perfectly aligned from each other.. the spacing is a bit different between each one.. does anyone else have this issue? from afar it looks fine but when i stare into it i can see its a bit off from perfect..
 
If it bothers you, take it in because it will always be on your mind whenever you look at it. I have a four prong setting and I noticed a tiny scratch on one of the prongs a day after my proposal. I never said a word, but it has always bothered me a little. I know that I did not put it there...but I let it go. The ring is beautiful otherwise, but I still think of it as my beautiful ring with the tiny scratch on the prong.:laugh:
 
One of mine is just a tad off. There is also a little knick in the platinum on the bottom of the catherdal setting that has been there since day one. I don't really mind, it just makes my ring mine.
 
You should go back to where you got it from and ask it to be amended.
I also depends if the ring setting has just been cast in series or been handmade by a talented goldsmith
