Hey all,
We were killing some time before a movie started so we went into B&M looking at wedding bands for me. I am strongly considering a titanium tension setting from Boone rings. The SA/GG said she is a big fan of tension settings, which this B&M had several to choose from, but warned me that they were risky and not advisable for daily wear.
She said if they get hit right or anything alters the alignment the diamond can pop right out of them. I can see it possibly with gold but I would think titanium wouldn''t be so problematic. She said titanium and even tungsten had the same issue???
This person was one of the few B&M''ers we''ve met that really wasn''t FOS or treated us like we were ignorant or stupid. She wasn''t trying to steer us towards something more expensive or anything like that. She was just giving us her advice and fair warning. Essentially it seems she believes what she told us to be true.
Any thoughts on this from those of you with tension settings and PS jewelers, etc.?
