Let me explain this for all of you who don’t understand how most brands work.
Ladies, I don’t think that this discussion is going anywhere productive. We now know what the “black stuff” are so my question has been answered. Obviously, we all have our own preferences for working or not with goven vendors. There are plenty of vendors that we like or don’t like simply based of finished work or that we have seen or experiences we have read about, even if we have not worked with said vendors. So there is nothing wrong about having opinions or preferences.
Please, let’s just remember what this forum is all about and be kind to one other.
So you can’t identify sarcasm or anecdotes:rollStop being condescending. And acting like everyone is "confused." We know what we are saying.
I'm glad you had to bring your "Benz" into this conversation. Speaks volumes.
I respect this. Again. Im sorry. I hope this thread doesn’t deter others from continuing the transparency that makes PS awesome.Ladies, I don’t think that this discussion is going anywhere productive.

If you see @Resonance.Of.Life's post above, she quoted where OP indicated there were other issues besides the black spots.
I didn’t take that as fact, no. I read it as her speculation of what could be the issue.
CVB is in essence responsible for anything OWD did as the subcontractor for CVb.What looks really bad, @SimoneDi, is that you were acting like you were upset that the “jeweler” didn’t send a clean product, leading us to believe that it was Caysie’s bench who missed the compound spots... I understand “jeweler” could have meant OWD, but you acted like it was Caysie when you referenced your displeasure, lumping that complaint with others you’d had about CVB. Never once was OWD even mentioned... you had to know they’d be finishing the ring (setting and polishing) since you mentioned you had them do this to expedite everything.
Look, all I’m saying is this was made out to be a big issue when you acted as it’ll it were Caysie who sent you a “dirty ring”, but now that OWD said they did the setting of stones and polishing and they, (too?), missed the compound, it’s no longer such an issue with you. You’re not saying that OWD lacks the competency to send a clean ring... So which is it? You were concerned enough to start this thread and didn’t hesitate to let everyone assume it was from Caysie’s bench, but you never once let us know that OWD was in the equation. It was implied that Caysie sent you the finished piece... a “dirty ring.”
I appreciate the sharing of any and all experiences with all vendors, good and bad, but it’s important that correct info (esp crucial bits) are shared. That includes correcting us when incorrect assumptions are made. This allows us to have as unbiased an opinion as possible, and makes it easier us to give good advice/suggestions that will help out. This is just... disappointing.
I hope you can resolve any other issues and wear your ring, regardless of who makes it.

Gotcha. The thread is flying so it's hard to keep up. I hope we aren't scaring off OP from elaborating, though.
SimoneDi started this thread because she noticed black marks on her new ring. She was asking the community what it could be and for helpful suggestions. She never once mentioned the vendor. That was divulged by soxfan which didn’t need to be divulged. Then the mud slinging ensued. Step back, calm down, take a deep breath and retract the claws. There is probably more to the story than what we know. Don’t always assume you have all the facts and go into attack mode. (I’m speaking generally, not just to you msop04)
