Trust me, you won''t want it, not after looking at [the three-sided pave ring] now. I am getting a new setting for the RB that was in it.

Ouch! What happened!?

That one looked like a very lovely piece...

Well, I had to wait until I could pick my chin up off of the floor before I could respond, but that thing is simply stunning! I love it. I''m not a fan of emerald cuts, but that one is to die for. Congrats on the trip and the ring. What are the specs? If I have overlooked your posting those (brain hasn''t functioned since I saw the pics), please forgive me. I will reread just to make sure.

Dear Shay,

Here''s the link to the stone! It''s a 2.01 G VS2. I was initally not sure about the proportions as I wanted a longish stone, but it looks perfect in the solitare setting!

I''m sorry abt your ring (read in another thread that you lost it

) but I''m glad you found a replacement so quickly!!

xoxo

First of all your dog is adorable. I love your new aviator. Second as a fan of ECs I love your ring. It is beautiful.

 

[cluelessL]

angel7: unfortunately, I can''t even PAY for someone to take the 3sided pave ring and the matching band off me.

Trust me, you won''t want it, not after looking at it now. I am getting a new setting for the RB that was in it.

first, congrats on your new solitaire. that is one gorgeous stone

please tell us what happened with your pave rings. they are becoming such a popular style but so many people seem to have problems

 

[Allie_oops]

Yum, yum, yum.

I ADORE emerald cuts. My faaaaaavorite!

 

[radiantlover]

[jadeleaves]

Thank you

I have Good Old Gold to thank for finding such a gorgeous stone for me!

Ohh my new avatar - that''s a spoodle puppy, and it''s not mine. That''s to keep me going till the house is built, as I can''t have a puppy where I''m living now. Isn''t the puppy adorable?!

What happened with the pave? (LOVE the new emerald!)

Wait wait wait - did I miss the pave fiasco? What happened? Is there a thread about it?!

Many of you have seen pictures of my 3sided pave set and other pieces of jewelry made by the same jeweller, and many have PM''ed me to ask about the pave fiasco.

Like most people, I believe in good manners and decency, but we’re not always so lucky in our associations.

In the interests of other members of PriceScope, I feel obliged to clarify one point.

In the course of my acquaintance with the jeweller who made those pieces, I’ve found that the views of said jeweller and myself depart in some very significant respects and that I’d been quite mistaken in my initial enthusiasm for his work. I, for one, value standards very highly, and this extends both to quality of workmanship and to personal integrity.

Suffice it to say, I’ve decided to look elsewhere where these standards are more likely to be met.

I am prepared for the mud-slinging that will ensue from this revelation, but I will not be drawn into further discussion about this. I think that’s all I need to say on this matter.

Ok back to our regular programming!

 

[mrssalvo]

ok, so do you have any idea''s of how you want your new setting to be?

I will keep this stuller solitaire setting for awhile I think. Too many big expenses associated with new house! My thread for the stone had a few setting ideas

 

[mrssalvo]

I

all of those. this one is one of my favorites...

 

[PhillipSchmidt]

You are right to your personal oppinions. I personally know that the ring is sound as I repolished it many times and subjected the ring to extensive testing over a period of time. As we have parted ways I have no knowledge is rings current state. I can not help what you do to your jewellery once you have it and I know that the job was to your satidaction. I stone that ring very well and I like it, but I do no intend to react to to whatever objection you have to my character. As you know!

Mud slinging?

 

[PhillipSchmidt]

Cammilias new ring will hit that one out of the ballpark.

This is not very nice

You stand behind your work as you should, she was unhappy and is taking her business elsewhere. she didn't even name you. i have no problem with you sharing your side of the story but saying someelse's ring is going to be even better really is mud slinging IMO

 

[icekid]

so pretty... love those ECs! Hell, I love them all and I need one of each

congrats!

 

[PhillipSchmidt]

This is not the first pricescope disservice has done to me and probably not the last, and I am right in defending every aspect of my service in creating a lot of good jewellery for ** and other pricescopers, all of which was admired. I find this and other slurs very unnecessary.

I am not sorry for sounding off when I did, because this just looks like progression of things from her side. I have seen her attack other jewellers and I see a very clear pattern. I am certain that I will not be free of her aquantaince, regardless of anything occuring on pricescope.

I don't pretend to care about ** opinions of me. I have my own opinions and I know that she is not blameless.

Hope all is clear,

Phillip

 

[Angel7]

I am lost!

I loved the 3-sided pave. Oh well.
Again, congrats on the new ring

 

[cute330xigrl]

That EC is very pretty!!!

I LOVE that Leon setting posted by mrssalvo



Can someone/anyone just post a pic of the 3sided pave?

 

[sevens one]

here''s the three sided pave.

Mrssalvo

I suggest you find out all sides to the story before you start taking the high moral ground.

I saw the pave rings in person and at that point in time, ** was extremely happy with the workmanship. If she no longer likes the rings because of personal feelings, that is her problem and not the jewellers.

 

[VAgal13]

I love your ring!

The classic setting with such a classy stone... It''s great!

BTW...I don''t get your saying at the bottom:
"I see the evident fork in this road and the illusion that were done me a believer." Did I not translate it right?

I may just be slow...LOL

 

[mrssalvo]

Camellia,

I'm not trying to take high moral ground. I even stated I understand there are two sides of the story and am willing to listen to both. But in my opinion, bringing up how someone else's ring (yours) is going to be even better is unprofessional and mean spirited. That was the only comment he made that I felt was out of line, and still do.

There is much more to this than meets the eye. As ** said to me 'things are not always what they seem'.

obviously there is much more to this than meets the eye. actions speak louder than words. if a vendor has to publicly flame a consumer there is something terribly wrong. when another consumer accurately assesses the situation and you have to bring in morals and high standing, there is a problem. don't get me wrong, you have every right to defend platinumsmith...whatever your reasons may be, but to question someone else's morals is taking it too far.
maybe you would see it differently if the shoe was on the other foot?
or maybe there is much more to this story and attacks are more powerful than facts.

Thank you muchly!

Ohh the saying - "I now see the obvious fork in this road, and the illusion that made me a believer."

You were pretty close! Or did I phrase it incorrectly? Sorry, my french is rudimentary at best!

Pricescope,

This is such a good example to why consumers fear posting their candid opinions when a project goes south w/ a vendor that frequents this forum.

If a consumer has a fear of thunderstorm I can not do much about it either.
