setting issues *sigh* again...

[ladykemma]

geez I like ''em high but that''s the highest setting I''ve ever seen. (That''s saying something!)

Start over with a fresh setting? even a stock plain tiffany setting?

Okay that setting, from the side is VERY similar to mine. In concept. Because in execution that puppy is ALL WRONG. I would tell him you don''t want that setting anymore and if he in any way, shape, or form implies that YOU are the problem and not the setting mention the BBB. Tell him you flat out you expect him to COMPLETELY replace the setting. THEN once it''s re-set... take it to another jeweler to do a ''prong check''... just to check it out-- most don''t even charge you-- they''ll tell you if there''s a problem with the setting.

Can anyone reccomend a good jeweler in the boston area? I know of one in newton that my friends went to, but I wanted to see if there is one closer to me (I dont have a car and it''s hard to find a time when the jeweler is open when FI is home so we can both go)

I think perhaps the definition of a good jeweler'' to a non-PS''er....might be totally different than ''good jeweler'' to a PS''er!

Really? How So? I think most ps and non ps''ers would define one as good work and excellent customer service/benchside manner. Although right now I''d settle for a sturdy setting that I''m not paranoid about

He treats my parents and their friends like gold, but from my and my experiences with him, I''m just uncomfortable with him b/c he kind of acts like we''re bugging him. When my dad went in and complained, he actually said ''oh, I didnt realize it was your FSIL and daughter'' and apologized to him...it really should not matter who we''re related to.

I just want my stone to not fall out or be loose anymore...I hate pestering people and feel like I''m being such a pain to him, but then I realize this is not my fault and it''s my E ring...just stinks

This is exactly what I was worried about. And it is completely ridiculous to treat you differently because you aren''t a well-known customer''s daughter! I would make him do a completely new setting because this one has been poorly made and monkeying iwth it over and over can only make the prongs looser I would think. Tell him you expect your money back or a new setting from scratch. This is very poor customer service indeed!
