^^So true! Makes me wonder if I should be examining my ring more closely for "errors."
Personally, I love lower profiles. I used to have a setting that was higher, and loved it. When I first received my new setting, I thought my ring looked like something that came out of a Cracker Jack box. But now, I love it. It's so easy and comfortable to wear. Most of the time, I don't even know that I am wearing my ring.

see I am WAY conscious now where I ever was before.
I am looking forward to having it recified. And really if they just build a 'bridge' under the wirework and adhere the head to that...that would work too. It would raise it up...just enough.
but I'm just expecting them to remake the whole 'head' taller.

I am taking the ring back to the jeweler today so it can go back for adjustments. He is going to ask that they fast-track it. They will fix the nick and the gashes in the "w", they will resize it up a hair (1/8-1/4 size) and they will adjust the height of the head about 1.5 to 2mm so that my diamond band cannot possibly eat the prongs--which has definitely occurred as I feared. There are two pretty major gashes. When I grip things (steering wheel for example) the diamond band smacks right into the W. I tried it on with a 3mm band I owned and it helped a bit but still bit into the setting which REALLY surprised me. I think the sizing and the raised head will definitely help.
I will say that I LOVE how the head is totally open. That really made the stone look amazing. There was a girl on the plane Sunday that was seated across the aisle from me who was staring at it for a good 30 minutes, easily, like a cat watching a laser pointer. It was HILARIOUS.

ME TOO.
The workmanship is amazing, so hopefully when I get it back it is on par. Seeing what my diamond band did to this thing in a week's time is making me think I should wait on a plain band and work on resetting the diamond band into a setting that won't eat another ring!

I don't like them. I don't mind "bead set" but I am not at all a fan of channel settings. I don't care for how they obstruct the view of the stone and they are a nightmare to clean.
I don't know what I will do about my wedding band. I don't think these stones can be set any lower than they are. But if Vatche won't rework the head to work for me, I cannot wear the wedding band.
And I am awaiting a response from them to see if they'll do it how we ordered it at all. It isn't made to the specifications we asked so I am hoping they can either remake the whole ring or the head part the way we asked. I specifically said set HIGH. This is not high. This is low.

I don't know if I can return the Vatche. I don't know til he talks to them tomorrow about all the options on what we can do. Since they "customized" the setting from the standard stock, I might be stuck with it. I am prepared for them to tell me "tough noogies". I am going to see what they tell the jeweler tomorrow and figure out from there. The diamond band coming so close is the biggest issue. So...yea.
I do like certain kinds of micropave, but I have to work with the 5pter diamonds I have in my current band, so I am kind of limited as to what's possible. But I also cannot afford to do anything for a few months. So if they can't rework it somehow to make it useful, and/or won't refund the setting, then I will be stuck and won't be able to wear my diamond band with it til I can save the money to redo that band.

It was pretty hilarious. I had to hold it together or I would have obviously lost it in her direction.
Hi Ame, I've been following your post. I have something similar to what you have. I really like this setting because I feel it really enables the brilliance, or sparkle of the diamond to show. I don't always like how the knife-edge prongs hide so much of the diamond, and love these delicate rounded prongs. It is not a high "in-your-face" setting, but I do think it is very classy and timeless, and it enables the diamond to sparkle from the sides. I also like how the prongs just go straight up as opposed to jetting out in a V shape. Will try and attach pictures. Also, mine might be set a little higher.
