My now fiancee and myself came across a great Tacori setting while on vacation and immediately looked into finding a jeweler in our city to purchase the setting and diamond. Much to our disappointment we could not find a store that had the particular setting, but one was more than willing to order the ring in on memo. We were quickly able to see the ring again and made the decision to purcahse both the engagement and wedding band. We picked a diamond and were told the process would probably take eight weeks due to us purchasing during the Christmas holiday. We patiently waited and the ring came in before Valentines day, but unfortunately the jeweler called our joint home and left a message to both of us knowing full well she was supposed to call then boyfriend at work so as not to ruin the proposal surprise. As if this weren''t enough when he proposed later that week, I noticed within fifteen minutes that the engagement ring was missing a side stone. Now, I know diamonds can fall out after time, but I also know you should be at least able to put the ring on. We immediately returned to the store to report the problem and were told the ring would have to be returned to Tacori for repair which would take another three weeks. At this point I am livid because we spent quite a chunk of money to get this ring and I expected to receive a quality ring with no troubles. The jeweler has now offended us further by offering to attune for this problem by offering us a $100 gift certificate to the store which amounts to less than 1.5% of the total cost of the rings. Please advise to what we should expect to receive from either Tacori or the jeweler as we are quite inexperienced in this type of transaction.
Thanks in advance
