First let me start by saying I appreciate all the wonderful and intelligent people who post to this forum. Your posts have definitely made me an informed buyer in purchasing an engagement ring for my girlfriend.
On November 11th I decided on a setting and stone at a very reputable Atlanta based jewelry store. I chose a 1.5 ct GIA certified princess cut stone and a C. Gonshor setting. The diamond was sent to C. Gonshor and the ring arrived late last week. I went to view the ring today and the salesperson informed me that what arrived was slightly varied from the setting I had originally chosen. The difference was so slight that it wasn''t a huge deal at all. As a matter of fact the C. Gonshor setting that arrived was a replica of the Tiffany Legacy setting, which I really fancied. However, it appeared as if the diamond didn''t sit flush with the surrounding beadwork. It seems as if the beadwork line isn''t perfectly straight on one side of the square. Imagine a square diamond surrounded by square beadwork, but one side of the beadwork line isn''t parallel with the diamond line. The salesperson said that the beadwork looked great to her, but the fact that I''m posting to this site lets me know that something isn''t quite right.
How would you suggest that I handle this situation? I do like the setting, but I need it to be perfect especially for the money that I paid. I''m not upset about the variation from my original selection, but I couldn''t live with myself knowing that something just isn''t quite right. Thanks in advance for the help.
