*Monique Rough Rock Total Posts: 22 Last Post: 5/8/2003 Member Since: 2/10/2003	Hi, We ordered the setting (Scott Kay, size 6) but were told it would take 3-4 weeks. I was wondering why it would take so long? Also, will any jewelers set a diamond right in front of you to prevent switching? How long does it usually take to set one diamond in a setting? Thanks.

How long does it usually take to set one diamond in a setting? I am sure if you ask the jeweler to set the diamond in front of you they would accomodate. Diamond switching is a very unorthodox practice and goes against the ethics set forth by the industry. I am not at all saying that the practice doesn't exist, but a reputable business would not likely partake in it. There are a lot of risk involved. You can also become very familiar with your stone by noticing where the inclusions are to help identify that it's yours. Depending on where you buy/bought your stone there is laser inscription to also help identify the stone.

And as far as switching it , You must go to a reputable jeweler that has beeen there for many years ,and has a good reputation. good luck Diamondsman buydiamonddirect.com

If you feel alittle uncomfortable about leaving your diamond I'm sure you will be able to sort something out with the jeweler. A jeweler with a professional work ethic would not partake in stone switching, so a reputable jeweler would be the way to go. We would like to think this was a practice that didn't occur at all. I'm sure it will work out well for you. Alison Mills Qualified Jeweler FGAA Gemologist and Diamond Technologist Registered Appraiser

ccuheartnurse Ideal Rock Total Posts: 709 Last Post: 11/27/2007 Member Since: 5/22/2002	Hello, I recently got my Scott Kay ring & when we ordered it was told 3-4 wks. It came in 3 wks. It took that long as it was made when the company received the order for it & it came in the size I ordered. There wasnt a thing wrong with my ring when it came in. Also, the jewelery store we went to used a setter that allowed us (my fiance & I) to sit right at his station while he set it. He was very pleasant & we chatted about all kinds of things besides the ring. He also chuckled a bit when I asked him to set the prongs between the arrows. He said in all the yrs he's been making/setting jewelry that I'm the 2nd person to ever ask for that specifically. He did it, just like I asked. He actually said I was a lot of fun to chat with cause he could tell I was a perfectionist & that I was concerned about the kind of work he would do, but he's dealt with worse. haha Judy :-)
