Hi Guys,
Well, yesterday I had my diamond lowered in the mounting. The jeweler was able to lower it significantly and I thought that everything was great. After a day of looking at it, however, I''m starting to think that the setting job is not very good after all. I''ve noticed a couple of areas where the ring seems to lack symmetry. I''ve tried to capture them in these photos, but I don''t know how well I''ve succeeded. I know the jeweler was concerned about setting the stone too low because it would require monkeying with the prongs more than he was comfortable. That''s why I was surprised when the diamond was in fact as low as it could go in this mounting. Let me know what, if anything, you guys think of these photos.
