amalley Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 8/23/2004 Member Since: 10/22/2002	hello, i was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about a problem. i have a 2.1 princess cut engagement ring in a platinum v-prong setting. i've only had it for a little over a month, but the diamond keeps coming loose. i've already had it tightened twice and it is loose again. is this normal for princess cuts? is there a better setting that holds the diamond more securely? any advice would be appreciated! thank you

Find out who the best diamond setter in your town is and take it to him for examination, and resetting if necessary. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

She might know of a good diamond setter. Why don't you give her a call at: ph. 202-291-5575, Email: pennye@triratna.com Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

This is a common problem and the scary solution relied on by so many jewelers is a drop of super glue - which may be why the diamond starts out being tight and gets loose after a few weeks if the G.G. that Richard mentioned does not have a recommendation for a jeweler, try asking Martin Fuller of Fuller & Associates across the bridge in McLean, Virginia...
