So is that a normal procedure? To have milgrain taken off? Or...'pressed away' or whatever happened? That seems so strange to me, but I am NOT a ring expert (or even little knowledged), so....Date: 7/21/2009 12:39:20 PM

Talked to Pete. He was as shocked as we were. Said that in order to tighten the stone, they have to apply pressure at the milgrain area, and the jeweler failed to put the milgrain back on. Of course he is taking the ring back and will make it all better againVery accomodating as always.![]()
Thanks everyone for looking and helping me solve the mystery.
I wish I could, I go every year. But we are leaving for a week to the beach on Saturday of the show and Friday I will be so busy at work I doubt I will get down there. Will you go? I should have you pick me up some funky stacking rings, I always enjoy your posts and pics about your beautiful stacking rings!!Date: 7/21/2009 4:31:40 PM

Glad to hear it''s getting fixed! Hey, since you are near Quest, are you going to the gem show in August?
Yeah - that is my question, too. Milgrain was taken off on purpose?? And, supposed to be put back on but wasn''t?? Didn''t know that was standard procedure...interesting...Date: 7/21/2009 5:41:45 PM

My initial paranoia says the stone got switched. BUT perhaps someone was absent minded enough to be using a steel wool scouring pad to polish the bezel.
Milgrain will wear out over time, though I don''t think 2 years is long enough to show that level of ''isolated'' wear.
