ť Question on WF when setting a stone

Question on WF when setting a stone

HeatherL Rough Rock Total Posts: 89 Last Post: 8/21/2009 Member Since: 2/26/2007	I am getting a round stone from WF and this question just occurred to me. Do I need to tell them how high or low I want the stone set? I wasn't asked this question though when I ordered it. I do not like it when I see rings with a round stone from the mall where there is a huge amount of air space underneath the stone. Will WF automatically set the stone this way? If not then I am okay but I just don't want that huge gap....I hope I am making sense....I may not be.... Thanks!!

Which setting did you pick? That may have some bearing on how low the diamond can be set. Just talk with your SP and you should be fine.

That way you will avoid having to return it if you aren't happy with it. Ditto the ladies. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

I prefer mine set as low as possible. Do tell WF your preference so that they will accomodate your request and make you happy with the end result.

I think WF's default height looks perfect. I also do not like the look of a stone set too high. But if they are too look the culet disappears.

Typically, we set reasonably low so as not to have the stone incur unnecessary damage from getting knocked around.
