Long story here -- I bought a bubbly rosecut pear diamond, .69 carats, VS type, K-L in 2012 on DB (it was not so cheap even then). Then I realized I didn't like rosecuts unless they had a backer or foil, so I tried selling it for a few years with no takers. Finally I took it to a local bench to set in around 2017, with directions that she create a flat stacker with a white gold enclosed bottom that would act as a foil. There were a lot of miscommunications about what I wanted (she wasn't familiar with rose cuts, and kept asking if I was sure I wanted to mount the diamond upside down) and it didn't get started for a year or two. Then Covid happened and she stopped working, etc. A few times in the process I asked her to just return the diamond but then she had already put work into it and I would owe her the money, so I just let it slowly get completed. Well, I picked it up today.
The question on the table: is it a keeper or should I reset it again?
The good news is that the diamond looks fantastic with the "pseudofoil" backing.
The bad news is that I am not sure it is that comfortable as a stacker. I wanted it completely flat for some odd reason back when I commissioned it in 2017. Well now it is completely flat, as requested, and it needs to angle up to stack.
What do you all think?
