Hi All.
I need some PS advice. Last week I received my new ring and noticed issues with the compass style prongs. For instance, the East/ West prongs hug the stone pavilion, but the North/ South prongs do not (see pics). In addition, one of the prongs is shaped kind of like a button prong, whereas the other three are similar to baby claw prongs, the way they should be.
I reached out to the jeweler who advised that "...the East/ West prongs are shaped differently because they are a part of the ring..." as well as, "...the prongs are not supposed to be the same, they need to differ to support the stone securely..."
After looking at the design of my ring I see that all four prongs are an extension of the ring shank. The shank was designed with 3-grooves that encircle the band. The East/ West prongs are derived from the middle groove. The North/ South prongs are derived from the two outer grooves.
I couldn't wait for feedback Saturday si I sent the jeweler a message. For all I know, the jeweler is correct and I'm way off base. I'd appreciate some input on this.
Thank you!!
