Diamond moving/rattling in ring - prong catching - what to do?!

CKinNYC Cut Rock Total Posts: 185 Last Post: 9/11/2009 Member Since: 4/20/2008	Hi folks Been a while since I posted! So in the last few days I've noticed that my hair gets caught in the prong(s) of my engagement ring, and just now I've noticed that I can rotate the center stone a little bit both ways. Plus, when I hold it up to my ear, it rattles - I know from my appraiser that that's a bad thing! I can't think of any knocks or falls that might have damaged it, and have only been wearing it for 4/5 months. What should I do - contact Leon to get him to check it out? Does anyone know if he does checks like that - I'm hoping yes, as it's still within a year. Here's a link to my ring: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=91422 Thank you all for your suggestions!

He should be able to recommend a solution, most likely just a tightening of the prongs. I know local jewelers do this as well but depending on the workmanship you may not want to go that route.

Ditto I also wouldn't wear it until the prongs are tightened just in case. __________________________________________________________ Sometimes if your really lucky all your dreams do come true ...............

CKinNYC Cut Rock Total Posts: 185 Last Post: 9/11/2009 Member Since: 4/20/2008	Thanks guys! So I called Leon today, and he said to drop in, that they'd want to take care of it straight away for me. So drop in I did, and he had his setters fix it on the spot. :) While I was waiting, I sat with Leon in his office, and he brought out some fab bands for me to try on - I'm thinking about what sort of wedding ring to get. I think I've settled on a two-row "Marina" band - like this one here, but with two rows, not three. http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=316 He had two single bands that I tried on together with my ring, in the style of that Marina band - and boy did they look nice together! So much sparkle, I was tempted to try and leg it out of his office with them on, haha! Anyway, Leon couldn't have been more charming or helpful - so thanks Leon! (not that he reads this!)
