Sorry to be off topic, but your avatar is very distracting.Chrono|1456932623|3998447 said:Did they offer any explanation as to why the diamond might have dropped out of the setting?
What is the likelihood of this happening again?
What can be done to reduce the chances of this happening again?
Hummm...strange,.. most jeweler don't have the correct equipment to reset a tension setting.Angelam|1456889311|3998240 said:Jeweler was able to put the diamond back in, phew!

Something doesn't jive here.. is not like you can just slide the stone back into a tension setting. Every stone 'MUST' be set by its manufacturer.ccuheartnurse|1457022606|3999115 said:I'm surprised to hear your jeweller was able to pop the stone back in.

It has been under 1 week of the ops post. Perhaps it is a timing issue to post.

Perhaps everything was true, but the OP is now embarrassed and will not post again.
But it's also possible the OP was a shill/troll or a competitor just trying to do damage to GA's name, or spread fear about tension settings.
Fear is the most powerful and contagious emotion.
It seems reasonable to me that tensions settings are much more safe than settings with those relatively-tiny prongs.
Prongs can catch on something and bend and let go of a diamond by just putting on a sweater.
