It looks like some prong repair has been done in a different metal, possibly gold when the setting is platinum, that bugs me to no end.
I’ve come across some rings that we be otherwise so pretty but someone restored the prongs in yellow gold instead of platinum. It doesn’t look intentional either, rather like someone just didn’t care enough to restore the piece properly. At least for me the eye goes straight to the prongs vs the stone or setting.
why would someone do that ??
just lazyness i guess
Or at the time gold was cheaper than platinum.
