OH CRAP!!! Miscommunication with the jeweler leads to this... *PICS*

5670756 class="msgfield">So, I took my pawnshop ring in to have it appraised and have the head fixed on it. When I bought it, the head was crooked just a tad.

While I was there I mentioned that sometime I might like to have it made "East to west". He went through and told me what all would have to be done to do that. I said that sounds pretty cool and might have to do that sometime, but not right now. I wasn''t sure how much that would cost and didn''t want to spend any extra right then.

Fast forward to today. The appraisial is done and the head has been fixed and it''s ready to be picked up.

I head on down to the shop. The very nice lady at the counter goes to get my ring and comes back. She pulled the clear plastic little baggie with the ring out and starts to take the ring out.....

I had this kind of "shocked" look on my face for a sec

I smiled and said very shly that I didn''t know he was going to do that. I thought he was only fixing the crooked head. We had only "talked" about what he would need to do if I wanted it east/west.

I am NOT upset AT ALL. Infact, I''m in love. The jeweler came out, he was a little nervous, poor guy!! We talked about it and I told him what an AMAZING job he did on it.

What we DIDN''T talk about was if I changed my mind....would he fix it for free? I''m sure he would though, and right now I''m not all that concerned about it.

I think it''s beautiful and unique... just like me!!! Hahahaha!!

Well, what do YOU think of my new East/West setting???

LOL!

Thanks! Jen


Ps. I''ve added an unintended "before" pic. LOL!

very cool look, i like it alot. i wonder if your wedding bands would even fit snug as they do now if the diamond wasn''t set E-W? either way, nice job for a miscommunication.

 

[slg47]

love it! also love the way it looks with the bands

 

[jenbuggy85]

Thanks everyone!

I just picked it up awhile ago, so I''m still getting used to it. He wasn''t supposed to do this, but it turned out beautiful :p

 

[SparklyOEC]

You know, that first picture had me thinking, ''hmmm. I don''t know...'' But, by the third picture I was sold. I really like the E-W setting. It makes for a unique style, and I think it makes your stone look bigger! It''s a very pretty set, too. Enjoy and wear in good health.

 

[starshine]

Love it!!!

It looks great with your bands!

I agree completely!

 

[waterlilly]

I LOVE the EW setting! Especially since you wear bands on either side - it look really sleek. I strongly vote you keep it!! It does make it look larger too - always a plus!

 

[BoulderGal]

That looks **really cool**! I love it east-west, it''s kind of unexpected.

 

[marcy]

It looks great. I like it with your bands too.

 

[RaiKai]

I love it! It is so elegant. It is wonderful when *mistakes* turn into one of a kind beauties!

 

[MonkeysInk]

Love it - what a happy accident!

 

[anitabee]

oooooooo, i really like it esp with it sandwiched between the diamond bands.

AWESOME!

 

[HVVS]

I like it better E/W. It looks great!

 

[jenbuggy85]

AWW!!! Thank you everyone!!

I am DEF keeping it this way! I''m in love! I think I might give the jeweler a call tomorrow to tell him again how happy I am with it. I have a feeling he might be worrying that I''m going to bring it back and give him hell about it, lol!

 

[Fire and Ice]

I love it!

It''s great when something like this works out and turns out to be something you love. Enjoy!
