Friends, I am new here and need advice desparately. After months of going back and forth with my jeweler to have an engagement ring made, he showed me the finished product. He used two side stones that are 25points, even though I ordered 30point side stones. And he made the side stones spaced farther apart from each other than what he said it would be (he showed me one in the showcase that it was supposed to be identical to). There was also a metal circle under the center stone that the prongs were attached to, but he cut out the whole circle when I only asked him to change the prongs.
I’m really afraid that the spacing between the three stones will be horrible. Here is a pic of the setting. Those side stones are 25points, and the main stone will be 0.9 carats. (The prongs are only crooked because they’re not attached yet). Does it look like there’s way too much space between the side stones for a 0.9 carat stone? Or is there supposed to be spacing?
Your thoughts are so appreciated, because I’m trying to decide whether to fight for a refund or just keep the ring.
By the way, here is how the first version came out (below). He mistakenly only used 10point side stones and the mill grain came out sloppy, so he re-made it (pic above). In the first version below, you can see the circle below the center stone which helps fill in some space. Not sure if it looks better with or without the circle. Or is the huge spacing on the new one above so ugly that it doesn’t matter and I need to have it re-made?
Thanks for your thoughts!
