I think the design is nice...but its not what you wanted, i agree that you should have her redo the ring and she should not charge you the second time if she wants her reputation and business to remain intact. consult with the jeweller again and tell her this is what she needs to do and your not happy. hopefully she respects her clients and will work to fix this design so thats its up to your standards. keep us posted!
I think it's a very interesting and unique design!
But two things: the setting would be a constant worry so I would have that sorted out immediately. Second, if you don't like the design, no one else's opinion will really matter, and it seemed like you disliked it at first sight, so I don't think the design will grow on you.
Hopefully you and your jeweler can come to an amicable resolution.

Will you have it redone then ? Perhaps it would be better to go back to your original jeweller then.
If i have to pay again, i would go back to my Regular Jeweler. Even if i do not redo it, i would like to secure my Solitaire in the middle to stop it from moving permanently so it is safer, it should'nt cost must to do that.
Thanks. I think i should add a Poll to this thread but i have no idea how to do that since i started this thread without one.
This women is one hard nut to crack, i will need to talk to her again after i consult my Regular Jeweler for remedy.
I love the evil eye...but that doesn't look like an eye
The diamond choices are nice though!
I would have stuck with your original choices. I don't think making it rounded makes it more masculine...
Yup, sharp edges look nicer maybe i can add 2 trillion cut diamonds perhaps 10-20 pointers each to each corners, it will look nicer.
Thanks for all your replies. I would like to hear more comments & also from other guys.
I like the design, but it does not look like an evil eye, unfortunately. I think you should redo the ring to make what you wanted in the first place. Demand that the job was not done to your specifications and that you need the item changed. You should not have to pay a large fee for work that needs to be redone.
It's a unique design, but I'd be concern with the diamond being insecure. I hate to say this but I don't think the jeweller is competent. It doesn't look like a difficult design to execute that it requires extraordinary workmanship. Perhaps you could reach an agreement with her to redo the mounting of the diamond so it doesn't move?
I was looking up evil eye designs- and there are tons. I do not understand why she couldn't make you the ring you wanted. IMHO I think it would look evil-eye like if she tapered the sides. Here are some examples:

Well as i said i have spoken to her, she said she will charge me if i want it redone by her as i agreed to her suggestion. She did not state the price but my feeling is whatever her price it is not going to be cheap so i plan to consult my Regular Jeweler first, see how's his take & quote before i decide. If the fee is too high i am not keen, i will probably just make the solitaire mounted in the middle permanently, leaving it movable is not safe in my opinon. Anyway she said if i make it the way i want it, the sharp corners would make it look feminine. But the completed work of her look rather feminine to me, i should let my Regular Jeweler who is a guy to do it. Just like going to a Saloon, i would prefer a Male Stylist cut & style my hair as they will do a better job, most Female stylists would either cut it too short or style it abit off. If i am going for Facial or Massage treatment, i would go for Female therapist rather than Male, as i feel girls would do a better job in such services.
Anyway it is not totally her fault, i chose to trust her professional advice prior to embarking on the job.
My design is alot better than the examples you shown me, The price i paid for it excluding cost of my Solitaire is alot higher than these rings you shown me. Because i paid alot for the Solitaire thats why i wanted to make a unique ring with it. If it is just small stones i will not bother. Thanks for your comments...
Yes i am quite concern about the diamond solitaire too. She is not competent as a Jeweler however to be fair i got to let you know that her workmanship is actually quite ok & fine becaus i never take pictures of the sides & bottom. Design seem simple on surface however to make the solitaire moveable require abit of skill to do a fine work.
The incompetent part of her is she failed to deliver what the client want without careful consideration of the client's design & providing the professional advice needed close to client's original needs without biases, not what her preference or what she feel is good.
I did ask her to redo the mounting of the diamond so it doesn't move but she insist on charging me an additional fee. I will speak to her again next week when i am more free.
I did considered bezel setting for the solitaire in my design & discussion with her but she said less light go through will make it less sparkle. I considered bezel setting because it can protect the stone more to prevent chipping.
