Well as many of you know, I''ve had a few problems with my setting. In any last night, I was playing with the setting (not a good idea) bascially I was applying really slight pressure to the individual stones on the halo. Just to kind of see if they move or anything. In any case when I got to the stones in the halo behind the claw prongs (this is where I lost the diamond previously). The stones sunk slightly. Just kind of moved downwards. In any case I have 4 claw prongs, and the two stones behind all of the claw prongs depressed slightly into the setting so that''s 8 stone (It''s only noticeable if I look at the ring under a loupe, so I don''t really care about the look of it).
So my question is, what happened? And did I make my setting more (or less secure?). I''ve had a similar experience with a prong set eternity band, but the diamonds were bigger, and I got the impression I just snapped the stone back into place. I''m a bit worried about the setting, so any insight would be great.
