What going with my platinum ring

[tabstabs]

Hello, I lost my original platinum ring that had diamond in the middle with halo and down the sides the band. When I tell you I literally did everything with this ring and went through hell and back. I had it for 6 years. There was never any issues with it like bending or stones falling out.
Now I’m getting it replaced also the jewelry doesn’t have the original cad drawing of the original ring and I didn’t have a good up close picture for details to get the same exact thing but I’m getting something close and made out of platinum .

So my jeweler let me barrow a loaner while in vacation although it was to small but I was able to get off although it began to bend in half on my finger and diamonds started popping out on the sides on this ring. I had to get it cut off in the ER because was so beyond getting off. She told me I pushing to hard on my hand which I dont know anything that I was doing pushing on my hand and I didn’t do strenuous activities with this ring bc we were on vaca . She said getting up from tables but I’m like I don’t get up like that pushing on the palm of my hands.


Now I received my new ring and I tried on the original size which I could have dealt with and was okay with but she instited on making it bigger and now the it was able to move around on my finger and was totally snug. I didn’t even get to do really anything with this new ring like my original ring and barely wore bc it was new . As soon as I started wearing it the 2 side diamonds fell out on the band . I sent it out to her she said the same thing being to much on my hands I said I did nothing different than my original ring and I can’t recall using my palms to get from a table bc that my normal way. I got it back same thing happened again this time it started bending together like the loaner and 4 stones fell out. She still saying the same thing and it is a thinner shank but the loaner was thicker and my original ring was thicker but I’m really thinking it’s the sizing and or setting ?

Also all of the rings were platinum . I am at a loss of why this is happening all of sudden because my original was perfect with no issues and I did more with that ring than the other ones!

Diamonds don’t “pop out” from a well made ring doing normal things.
Platinum is often chosen for prongs because high carat gold ie 18ct has ductility and prongs can catch and be pulled out of position.
With full eternity bands, yes, you do need to be mindful of grabbing things ie a metal railing or metal shopping carts etc because metal and diamonds being whacked against metal as you grasp can lead to damaged diamonds and damaged prongs.
Is it the style of the ring?
Knife edge profile ? Less than 2mm wide? Is it a micro pave band?
All the above can be a problem because there is next to no metal available to create prongs and hold the diamonds in place. Ditto diamond set bands with only 2 prongs per stone.

This the new ring that was made. The diamonds have popped out at the ends of the diamond part and also that’s were it started to bend … also now got it back again and now diamonds have popped out same section and also another section were you see a cut has been made for sizing underneath in the band. I don’t on me to show the damage .

Is your new ring bending / going out-of-round like the loaner?

Also, OMG to your jeweller loaning you a platinum ring that you quickly discovered was too small, destroyed, and ultimately had to get cut off! I honestly am shocked this jeweller continued to work with you and didn’t just charge you for damages and send you on your way!

This design is just begging to lose diamonds. Honestly, it’s a style problem - that yes, could be reduced with exceptional make, but… It’s asking for trouble no matter what. If you want sturdy you’ll have to choose a mount style that isn’t dripping in pave. That’s the only actual solution here.

This is the old ring but I don’t have picture of the sides but the stones were a little bigger on sides .

 

[tabstabs]

The new one never really bent out just the diamonds start popping out at the solid piece and where the diamond meet on the band. Just got it back again and now it Bent down so much diamonds popped and now popped out were you can see cuts from resizing as well.

Yes my old ring had thicker prongs over the diamonds on the side of band; never had an issues even doing non normal rings.

New ring barely can see the prong over the diamonds and really hardly wear it and don’t do non normal things. She’s saying now it’s me getting up from tables and bending my hand down I’m like I don’t stand like that or get up like that and my other non platinum bands would have been destroyed to then.

I'm not sure what's happening, but I can't honestly believe the ring is actually made of platinum. Something doesn't seem right, and I would not go back to that jeweler. Platinum is a very hard metal. It would not bend like that in a matter of days, or go out of round just from putting the ring on and removing it. I have very thin antique platinum bands that have survived 100 years and are still round.

Would the grade of platinum make a difference ?
