Re: Just got my WAX Model pictures!!! What do you guys think
i never once blamed anybody about any part of this process. so you guys dont need to get all defensive about david for no reason.
we have a good working relationship so there's really no need to stir things up and go off topic.
i'm just going to clarify this one last time and hopefully we can get back to the real discussion of the setting.
the ring was cast everything was fine, then he set the pave and didn't like how the whole ring turned out. especially about the gallery so he asked me if he could remove the gallery and replace it with a bar, which made no sense to me.
thats when i told him, why not try just removing the gallery all together and see how it looks.
and this whole time, grace and i have kept in contact, and she suggested to have him hold a piece of metal behind the ring to see how that'll look.
the re-cast was david's idea and suggestion, and was not forcefully requested by me, i left up to him to figure out the best way to "fix" the things that we both didnt like. and he decided he wanted to recast it.
how we settle the cost of this extra work is between david and i and not anybody else's business and it's not what i came here to ask advice for.
david to me is more of a artist/jeweler than a business man, i fully respect that he wants to create a piece of work that he's proud of than to just "get the money" have a piece of jewelry made that he's not proud of.

I don't consider this to be David's fault at all. He's been doing what you've asked every step of the way. This diamond is never going to be sparkly like an OEC, MRB, or any other stone with a pavilion, no matter how it's set.
I don't have a round white diamond solitaire as an engagement ring, so I get wanting to be different, but I think you've made a lot of mistakes along the way that should have been avoided, and now David is paying the price. I still think that not seeing the diamond before setting it was a big problem. If you had an idea of how the stone performed, you would have a better idea of how to set it.
I'm going to agree with the above. I think it put David at a real disadvantage because you didn't realize the properties of rose cuts, didn't even see the stone before it was set which was a huge mistake. You should have had the stone sent to you so you could "live with it" a while and get to know its characteristics. It's good that you are keeping a good attitude about this and I'll say the same thing about David.
+1 to both. I think David is going above and beyond here, and deserves nothing but kudos. Nothing is going to make a K look like a D, and a rose cut sparkle like a stone with a pavilion and more facets.
