I introduced my mom to a local jeweler I use and while in there I asked him to clean my studs. To my horror, he pulled out some tool to tighten something (everything was fine) and broke the screw post off of of the back of one of my five prong platinum martinis. After some arguing, he agreed to replace the post. When I picked it up and took the repaired earring home I realized that he had used a different size post and back. I was quite annoyed and went back to speak with him, but he said I could live with having to match up different backs. I don't think I should have to match up different backs on over 3ct diamond platinum studs! I went to another local jeweler who quoted me $200 to replace a single post so I decided to live with things for a little before revisiting the issue. Fast forward, the solder joint on the new post has turned bright orange. I feel like my ears are more irritated. It could be the new post size or perhaps he used another metal? I used platinum because I am very metal sensitive. I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone have thoughts or advice on how to rectify this?
