Hi everyone, in searching for all my engagement ring Qs this forum has kept coming up over and over again with great info, thanks!
I have a specific question would appreciate your opinion.
We're considering this ring (Scott Kay setting sometimes called "tension" sometimes called "bar set")

We fell in love with this setting at the Jeweler but this is an online deal, which is quite a bit less than anything else I've found and I can get it much faster than ordering through the jeweler (4-6 weeks)
Problem, ring is 7.5 and I would need it resized to 7. I am getting mixed opinions about if this is a true tension ring or not. I was told it is not a true tension ring and resizing it is not a problem, which I really want to believe! But all the things I have read on the internet about tension rings possibly loosing thier integrity when resized, etc... worry me.
I want to be reasonably certain it should be able to be resized before buying, and feel that the stone will be safe if it is resized.
What do y'all think?
Thanks
Jennie
