Hello everyone,
I used to be an avid lurker on these forums back when my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I were looking to purchase my engagement ring and wedding band. We spent endless hours pouring over posts and reviews on these forums, and eventually ended up selecting a “Diamonds for an Eternity” wedding set and an ACA center stone from Whiteflash. I have been SO happy with the brilliance, quality, and durability of the set thus far and have racked up more compliments than I could have ever imagined.
Unfortunately after 4+ years of wearing my e-ring and wedding band together, the diamonds on my wedding band have worn away the prongs on my e-ring significantly. I am now concerned about the integrity of the e-ring and worry that I will eventually end up losing my center stone. I don’t want to solder the rings together, as I wear my wedding band solo when I sleep, do yard work, or any other activities that have the potential to damage my e-ring. I also don’t want to wear a spacer, as I prefer the look of solid diamonds—a huge factor in why we selected this setting in the first place. Is this a common problem with this type of setting? A few of my friends have very similar settings and none of them have the same problem, as the prongs for their center stones are set up high enough that the two don’t rub against each other. I don’t remember reading about this problem when researching for my set, nor was the potential for this problem mentioned (to our recollection) by anyone at Whiteflash. Is this perhaps a design flaw in my particular piece? I absolutely love my ring and don’t want anything to happen to it. I am afraid to wear my e-ring at all anymore! Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
