so i received my james allen ring yesterday , after 2 weeks wait... the process was great amazing customer service.
Here is the details :
Setting: https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-cushion-outline-pave-engagement-ring-item-49998
Diamond : https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.20-carat-i-color-vvs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2038467
Total : $ 8330
So here is my situation, about 6 months ago me and the girlfriend was in the mall and happen to go into bluenile to look at rings and settings and to see what size finger she was. upon looking at rings she liked this setting from blue nile :

So doing research i decided to go with james allen reading great things about the company and ect. so i found a similar setting and spoke to customer service and the setting i picked from james allen was the closest in similarity to the one she liked from bluenile. now me thinking it shouldnt be a big issue i went on to purchase from james allen.
So when i checked the ring yesterday even though it looks really nice. just didnt seem like the setting from bluenile. the setting from blue nile has that part with it lifts the diamond up more, which i think she liked when she saw it, the setting from james allen the diamond sits more flat on the setting.
confusing i know.
so what do you guys recommend :
1. Return for full refund, wait for funds to clear back, use setting from blue nile and start diamond searching again
2. Return ring to james allen and request for them to just send diamond . and then have diamond from james allen and setting from bluenile. dont know how or who will have to finish the ring .
