Tonight I picked up my 5 stone white gold band ring. It''s AWFUL! This same jeweler did one for me in yellow gold in the exact same setting with the exact same sized stones a few weeks ago that is perfect. The white gold ring looks nothing like the yellow gold! The stones are set uneven, the prong work is terrible (the prongs are nearly covering some of the stones) and the stones are set way too low! I was ready to cry! His assistant didn''t like the way the ring looked, and wants me to bring it back on Monday, because the jeweler doesn''t come in on weekends.
I don''t know what''s wrong. This fellow usually does very nice work. He has my .75 solitaire right now, too. He''s supposed to be swapping out the yellow gold tulipset for white gold. Now I am so worried that he is going to mess that up, too! If you don''t get the diamonds set perfectly in those tulipset mountings, they look lopsided!
I know this is not the best picture...I was using Mara''s loupe to the lens technique and got this one shot before the battery on the camera died...
. The white gold is on the top. on the far left stone, it''s really noticeable that the prongs are way to far overlapping the diamond. They all pretty much look that way. And the stones look like they are set much lower. Frustrated, frustrated, frustrated!!!!
