Resetting - Cautions?

[ByGoneEraBride]

Hello!

I''ve been gone two weeks and in that two, finally found our e-ring setting and the wedding band...wow! thanks to you guys. We got them on clearnace, of all things...insane. I saw the rings a time or two online (which, for the life of me can''t find now), and they were way out of budget. Well, at half off...

Anyways, I''m a bit concerned as they are wanting me to sign a waiver for resetting my princess cut stone into the new e-ring setting. I''m nervous! I don''t like this ''waiver'' thing. And I certainly don''t remember anyone asking me to do that before. Should I get it reset somewhere else?

The stone is NOT from the same jeweler, as that jeweler is now out of business (small business). I''ve had my stone reset two times now, one time into a ring we purchased that was going to be my wedding band/e-ring but it was defective and my stone had to be put back into my original setting. SO that is how it got reset twice.

Does this affect my diamond? teh more it gets reset the more vulnerable it is? why would I have to sign a waiver, I figure that if they screw up my ring and chip it, they should be liable for it. I wear it everyday and it hasn''t chipped. There are no ''vulnerabilities'' on the grading report...
I''m just leery...I"d love to have it reset by the same people who I purchased the rings from, but...

Hi!

I''m pretty sure that they will not take responsibility for any damage to your stone during setting. I was told when I inquired about a reset that I should have insurance on the diamond and that would cover it if anything were to happen. However, I was never asked to sign a waiver! That sounds a little strange...

I personally think they should take the responsibility though, like they should have insurance to cover their work. I work in an industry that requires me to have insurance in case something goes wrong with my client....I don''t see any difference. Just my opinion

*nods* Just leery about signing a waiver. The thing is, the business just celebrated 130 years...so they are a ''good'' business.

I just never ever signed anything. Heck when Zales screwed up my ring, they were so helpful, never had to sign anything, not even the first time it got reset!

Maybe I should head back to them. The zales here is odd, they are like a small mom and pop store.
