Hi, I need your help.
I just had my diamond (1Ct round) set in a new 6-prong platinum ring at my local jeweler. I did not want the stone sit too high, so I requested not set the stone too high. But it came out much lower than I expected. I should have said " Not too high, but not too low."
The ring itself is absolutely beautiful, but I am afraid that this very low setting will harm the diamond. From looking at the ring by loupe, I see some scratch on the center of the setting, so the setter may have drilled a tiny hole in the setting so that he could set as low as possible. I cannot really see the culet so I am not sure if the culet is touching the metal or not.
I am also worried about my center diamond won’t stand out with this low setting when I wear this together with my new pave wedding band, which we have not purchased.
Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the stone higher by using same prongs? Someone mentioned here in PS that platinum couldn’t be added, then any way to fix this problem? Or I should be happy with as it is ?
