I have been reading this forum for a couple months and have finally got the guts to post. In Septemer 2003 my husband proposed. He had a custom ring made through a jeweler in his hometown in Ohio. We live in Atlanta. I wasn''t exactly thrilled with the way it looked. I will post pictures later when I am home. Anyways I was just thrilled to be engaged. When we went to get my wedding band done with channel setting I was nervous. My husband had to send my engagment ring back twice casue he was not happy with it. Well we got the ring and of course all the diamond spacings on the ring were off!!!! I couldn''t believe how bad it looked. So we sent it back! We got it again and the wedding was within a couple weeks away so I kept it. I was not happy with it, but my husband was severely irritated with me!! (He reminded me that the meaning of the rings was more important then the rings themselves) So for a year I have been looking at this ring and how the diamonds are still not spaced correctly!!!!!! Somehow two months ago I bent a small piece on my ering. I took it in to be fixed and my wedding band to have the spacings fixed. Got the engagement ring back and it was not fixed. The jeweler had to then send it back to the company that made it to have it fixed. I got it back a couple weeks ago and guess what the ring was not fixed! My husband is so easygoing and we never argue, but this ring thing is about to drive me crazy!!! I have to fedex the ring back to him since I live in Atlanta, per his cost. The wedding band was just picked up by my husband. I will not see it until tonight, but guess what I have gotten a bill from the jeweler. It was $750 to redo the wedding band. He said he would cover half. So a 1300 ring has now cost me 2050. I know I should have taken the ring back sooner, but I would have never thought it would cost this much!! My husband has said he will never do anything like this again, because of how picky I am. My heart is broken. I have cried more about these rings than anything! I feel so silly about it, but these rings are symbols of him and I that I will wear forever and want them to be perfect! I know I have written alot but I just need someone to talk to to see if I am just crazy picky or plain crazy! What if this new wedding band still doesn''t meet my standards?!
