Can you please help me with a setting question? I ordered a custom platnimum halo setting for my RB diamond from a very reputable designer. The ring was ordered with a prong setting and after waiting 6 long weeks came back bezel set. The jeweler returned the ring to the designer to be remade. When the ring came back (3 weeks later) the prongs were lopsided, the bezel appeared to be too small and the diamond set higher than I expected (the diamond appears to be setting "on" the halo instead of "in" the halo). The ring was sent back again to be remade and came back 3 weeks later with the prongs "reworked". Although the prongs are not as lopsided the halo still seems too small and the the diamond still seems high. Does anyone know if a prong set stone would require a larger halo than a bezel set stone? I suspect that rather than remaking the ring after the initial mistake the designer just added the prongs on to the face of the halo and set the stone higher to make it "fit". But seeing that I am not a jeweler, I though I would ask the experts here.
Thanks so much for your help!
