I have a platinum solitaire e-ring setting like the Cartier 1895. I had one of the prongs fixed a couple months ago and I just noticed it doesn't look consistent with the other 3 prongs - a little thicker and curved differently (not happy). Do you know if it's possible for a jeweler to put 4 all new prongs on the setting? I am also thinking I would like to change to claw prongs as opposed to the ones I have now that look like little round beads on top.
On another note, I may end up with a stone that is bigger than the basket on this setting was originally made to hold. If that is the case, can a jeweler put a whole new basket on the setting to accomodate a larger stone? Wouldn't be a huge difference, the diamond may just be 0.2 carats bigger than the original (like going from a 1.4 carats to a 1.6), but looking at it now I don't think a 1.6 could fit.
TIA!
