You honestly wouldn''t believe that so many things could go wrong with a single, solitaire engagement ring... but there''s been yet another hold-up in the journey of trying to get my ring right.
Lucky I''m not superstitious or I would be running for the hills right now!
You may recall I took a trip to London to get my diamond mounted (properly) in a new mount.
The jeweller called today and said the ring mount had an asymmetric prong and the craftsman wouldn''t set the diamond.
It would take too long to get them to make a mount for me, as I leave for New Zealand on the 25th May.
So, I shall return the new mount I bought for a refund.
My problem now is that I need to find a new, well-made ring mount.
I just want a simple, 4-claw setting, in 18ct yellow gold. This challenge is made harder by the fact I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want 18ct yellow gold prongs.
I know there are some great settings experts on this forum and I would be so grateful if you could point me towards some lovely settings. Obviously I have the diamond already, so it needs to be somewhere that will be happy just to sell me a mount.
I''ve shed more tears over this ring than you would ever think possible and I just want it right. Is that really to much to ask?
Thank you all so much for your help in advance... I just don''t know where to start.
