As some of you know, I'm having a RG DBTY necklace made and also a sapphires by the yard - different vendors. One vendor has shipped to the wrong place (although apaprently has fixed that now, after my initial heart attack) and the other has sent me pictures for approval, thank God. They got the spacing of stones COMPLETELY WRONG despite my drawing a diagram with clear measurements and specifying in writing - so we're talking communication in both words and numbers - that I wanted the 5 stones to start four inches from each side of the clasp and then to be spaced at two-inch intervals. I posted the diagram on here, too. I even called the vendor to be sure that my diagram and instructions had been put into my file. Words, numbers, pictures - what more could I have done? Talked in words of one syllable?
And what have I got? Exactly what I didn't want - 5 stones evenly-spaced! So on the neck shots, you can only see three stones! That was why I drew a DIAGRAM - so that the even spacing wouldn't happen!
I knew I should have stuck to Blue Nile, I knew it. All this talking up these others here - I have NEVER had a good experience with them and now I've paid for it.
Sorry for the vent. Hopefully the sapphire people will fix it.
Of course, now I'm worried that other vendor has merrily ignored my diagram and my instructions and done the even spacing.
