I just had this ring made and despite saying that I wanted the diamond set as low was possible, it came out like this. My questions for the experts are:
1) Is there any reason why this diamond could not have been set lower?
2) This ring was custom made but now that I have all the components (center stone, channel stones, and platinum) could the ring maker melt the platinum down and start over or is the platinum wasted?
3) The channel stones are 35points of "collection quality" stones, I''m guessing H color. How much are they worth?
4) If I wanted to sell the setting (not the center stone) how much could I sell it for?
Pictures should be attached below. Thanks for your help.
