I just need better light. Daylight makes inspecting easier.

The ring in theory doesn't look different so I don't know if photos will matter ;) But since it's snowy out I might take a few lovely snow pics if I get time. Or am brave enough to be out there!

I didn't even wear it out of the store. I tried it on there, and tried it on at home but it's SO cold out that I am actually wearing gloves, which I RARELY do unless its say 10 degrees or less. And with gloves rings don't work well for me. So hopefully I can wear it tomorrow!

LOL !!

I am surprised how calm I am. I think it's because I just think it will be going back. lol

I should be sorting paperwork for taxes. But I don't wanna.

I am so excited you finally go your ring! I am crossing my fingers that there is absolutely NO scratch/crack/dent/ding/mole/wart on the setting! I can't wait to see pics and I hope it's up to your expectations!!

There is definitely at least one scratch and one ding that I saw immediately, on the opposite side of this ring, which looks to be an ENTIRELY new ring. But I am probably going to leave it because I don't want to wait ANOTHER month to have it back.

They reset my stone and I think covered my inscription which is kinda annoying.

No, this scratch is like the crack lookin' thing. But it's smaller and up by the stone, instead of at a joint like before. The dent is annoying but I might seriously just leave it. I don't want to wait another month and i don't want them to screw it up. Here's the list of actual "annoyances" that I sent the jeweler dude:


I've looked at it outside and under a loupe outside:


There's at least one weird scratch/crack lookin thing and a dent on this new ring, opposite side, within about a mm of the stone in the cathedral. I can see it well without a loupe but I can't decide if it's worth them fixing, bec they'll probably make it worse. And being in the cathedral I sorta doubt it's affecting the ring structure like I was concerned with the last one. I still see it, so hopefully it won't make me nuts.

They had to have remade this entire ring, head and all. My stone's not in the same "place" it was before and my inscription is hidden under a prong now.

And under a loupe there is that black paste gunk on the stone in a few areas, and on the pavilion is gunk. Hopefully I can scrub that out easily. Or steam it out or something. Dirt and gunk is not a major issue really.

Their polishing is definitely not as fluid as last time overall. The ring itself is just not as fluid/smooth as the other.

The sizing beads are smaller and really close together. Which is actually rad.

Prongs look even tinier than before. Which I also like. Though now two prongs are not fully touching the stone on top. And one is not really close on the side either, but it's welded to the cathedral so I don't think tightening that is easily done. They rushed this I bet.

Ill wear it and see what I think in a few days.

Ook....the jeweler is pissed. lol and that's an understatement. He's actually more angry about all this than I am. He simply does not get what the issue in their shop is. They had over 3 weeks to do this work and they sent THIS.

I am going over there today if my 12pm meeting ends by 130 so that he can clean the ring and gunk off the stone and possibly move the stone so we can see the inscription. He's not sure if he can wrangle the prongs or if he wants to.
