Hi I just purchased a upgrade ring for myself almost 3 months ago but the stone has become loose already, It's a 1 carat princess cut and set on a four prong setting(not the v prong one). I bought the setting online and gave all the measurements of the stone with the order. When i went to their office to have it set, The jeweler did a small hole in the bottom of the setting to fit the diamond. When i received the setting it did look too small for the diamond but im no jeweler and i though he would know better. Anyway I had to go back a week later because the stone looked crooked and it bothered me. My original engagement ring has never become loose and it's almost seven years old. So im here thinking either the prongs were too small for the diamond or the stone wasn't set properly or both....
Is it normal for a princess cut stone to become loose that quick?? Like i said my original 1/2 ct princess is set on V prongs and has never become loose. I'm just worried i get it fixed and have it happen again. I'm not hard on my rings, I only wear them when i go out and thats usually the weekends.
So im stuck with this setting that I'm pretty sure the prongs are too small for the stone, the time for exchange or return already expired... Here's a picture of how croocked the stone looked after i had it set the first time, and he said there was nothing wrong with it.
