I have a Tacori ring currently set with a 1ct. CZ, and I am planning to buy a sapphire to replace the CZ. I've talked to the authorized dealer about getting this done, and they recommend that I send the stone and the ring to Tacori, in order to keep my warranty. Shipping would cost about $150, and setting the new stone would cost about $100.
The authorized dealer said that the size of the sapphire specifically has to be 6.5mm in diameter with a medium to thin girdle. The stone I have found is just about 6.5mm (give or take a few 0.01mm) and a med-thick to thin girdle.
I'm concerned about Tacori refusing to set this stone because of the girdle. I really love the color, and the custom jewelry store that has the stone has offered to set the stone for me and guarantee the setting for the center stone. But, any additional work to the ring would be an additional cost, and of course, this will nullify any warranty I had with Tacori.
I have never dealt with Tacori about warranty issues. Is it worth it to try to keep their warranty intact?
I've had several friends work with this custom jewelry store with highly successful results. In the few meetings I've had with them, I feel confident in the work that they could do for me if I choose that route.
I've linked my ring style if that would help at all. Thanks!
