Hello,
This is my first post here on pricescope, so please bear with me.

I am on the hunt for an engagement ring and wedding band.
I recently found this ring at a jewelry chain store that I absolutely love. When I went to a second jeweler to see if they had a similar band, they told me I don't want this band because the way the diamonds are set, they can easily fall out. I do not know much about how diamonds are set. It does worry me if they fall out easily because I work with my hands a lot and wear gloves. I don't want diamonds constantly falling out.
I was just looking for a neutral opinion here on this ring and how it's set.

I have attached a couple photos below, sorry if they are too large, I do not know how to resize.

Thank you for any comments!

That's a lovely ring! We're they talking about the melee or the center stones? If they were talking about the melee, then yes they can fall out if you work with your hands a lot. Pave type settings need to babied. Recommendation is to take your ring off when doing housework, dishes, laundry, etc. and if you have a job where you are working with your hands a lot, washing them a lot, putting on and taking off gloves, etc. then a pave type ring may not be the best choice. Of course you could have a pave band and a plain band and wear the plain band for everyday and the pave band for special occasions if that's something that interests you.

Hopefully a pave expert will chime in on other recommendations for you!

Oh and type in "pave durable" or some variation in the search bar and many threads will come up on this subject.
 
If you work with your hand a lot and wear/remove gloves, this type of melee setting is not a good choice as they are more likely to fall out.
 
If you love it, just wear a plain band at work
