Kay jewelers made me cry
Sloppy channel work
So... after being fed up with the craftsmanship at Kay jewelers, and dealing with the sloppy channel on my ring for a few years now, we decided to upgrade to a nicer setting. We found one that looked nearly identical to my current one, but it looks more substantial and well made.
It arrived today and I LOVE IT... except for one thing... while the channels on this one are MUCH better than my old one, I still am unhappy with the spacing from one side to the other. So, I called and spoke to a very nice woman at customer service who told me to send the ring back and they will use the same stones to a make a brand new one. She also told me she would put a note in the service order that I am a perfectionist and to not bother sending it out if it isn''t perfect.
Below are the photos of my "old setting still containing my Leo diamond", and the "first draft of my new setting". We did not know the side stones would be larger... but its a nice added bonus because it sparkles sooo much more than the old tiny stones!
What do you all think? I thought about just keeping it, but I didnt want the uneven channels to bother me in a few months, so i am fixing it. But I think it will look really nice...
