I just got a new engagement ring. I wanted a Tiffany-esque six-prong solitaire and worked with the jeweler over a period of weeks to custom-design the setting to my specifications. We picked the stone first, so the setting was calculated to fit the stone perfectly. I specifically that the stone be set flush with and "nestle in" the prongs like this inspiration photo I provided:
Yesterday, the jeweler sent me this photo of the ring. It's a terrible quality photo, but as you can see, there's clearly a lot of gapping between the stone and prongs:
I personally think this looks terrible. The jeweler is now saying it will try to re-set the stone flush using the existing setting, but is that even possible? I'm not sure how this happened given that the setting was designed for this specific stone.
