I feel just sick sick sick.
I did the stupidest thing. I know the pave rules. Don''t put it in the ultra sonic.
I''ve had my ring since July 07. No issues. Never saw an ultrasonic.
Today I met FI at our family jeweller to pick out his wedding band. She looks at my ring. Says it needs a clean.
What do you use? I ask
"An ultra sonic and soft brushes" she says.
"I was told not to use those because stones will fall out" I tell her.
"Oh no - I use it all the time. They never come out of mine. Don''t worry" she says. She uses a loupe and looks at all my prongs. Says it looks very well set and should be fine.
I figure, if I can trust anyone, it is our family jeweler.
Off it goes. Wave bye bye.
Comes back. I take the new polished pretty ring. Put it on. She yells out to the polisher guy "and how many stones did she lose?"
"None" he says. She smiles.
I look.
My heart sinks.
One stone gone.
Hand it over - she looks. Two stones gone.
"Don''t worry - we''ll fix it" she says.
Of course, the setter is gone so it can''t be fixed until TUESDAY. I feel sick. I want to throw up. She looks at me like I am NUTS for being upset.
I ask her for my diamonds, and she says she has to empty out the whole bath to get them. Don''t worry, she says, we''ll fix it up on Tuesday.
I am fuming and feel sick in a "I should have known/I told you so" kind of way. And she thinks I''m crazy for being upset. Like "it happens'' or something.
Not what she was saying before she took the ring. The exact opposite is what she said!
I bawled on the way home. Spent the last 20 minutes over analysing every dent every mark thinking they''ve not only lost my stones, but damaged the platinum.
I feel so bloody stupid.
