Prongs on martini setting

[kharmony]

I just got a beautiful 1.5 ct set of diamond studs in yellow gold. And, as probably everyone does, I spent all yesterday examining every nook and cranny of these earrings (even with my magnifying glass). I noticed where the studs are bent to hold the diamond, the gold is slightly melted. I would post a picture but you could never see this on a picture - it's small. Is this normal or sloppy work?

can you elaborate a little more?
I am not picturing this. . .

After reading my post, I can see why you need elaboration! What I meant to say was where each of the three prongs slightly bents to hold the diamond at the top of the setting, I can see the gold is slightly melted; meaning, a slight disfiguration of the prong where it touches the diamond. I hope that helps. I tried taking a picture and it can't be seen no matter how close I get.

Can you use the macro setting on your camera?

I guess that should be a clue to me that I'm being too picky. The macro can't even pick it up!

 

[Swanky]

does it look like a drip mark, albeit small, on the prong itself?
Or does it look like it seeped onto the stone?

 

[kharmony]

It looks like it seeped onto the stone. Thanks for putting that in words for me. No drip.

I'm picky too . . it shouldn't be a problem at all to fix one prong for you.
