Hi everyone,
I have already acquired the loose diamond for my e-ring, and the setting will be here soon. It is the Tacori 2565RD9 setting.
As you can see, the center stone can apparently be set at varying heights in relation to the base of the ring:
Almost flush here: http://www.tacori.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2565-wbg.jpg
Perhaps a bit raised here: http://www.vecerejewelers.com/images/uploaded/SiteImages/fullsize/2565RD9.jpg
The original plan was to have it set at the same place which has ordered the setting for me. However, that may not be possible given some recently discovered time constraints.
My questions are:
1. Can any local jeweler set the stone as I want it (i.e. more like the first picture)?
2. Would you rather have a Tacori silver or gold partner setting it instead?
3. How long does it typically take for the setting, and what should I expect it to cost?
4. If I am unhappy with the way it is set, can it be redone easily?
5. Given the large investment in the stone, should I be paranoid about the jeweler "swapping" it? I do not personally know anyone and thus anyone I go to would be a stranger. My stone was AGS certified in February 2011, so it should have a laser engraving, correct?
Thanks in advance for any help!
