Another E-ring dilema!

Okay just to catch you up. I am on my 2nd E-ring because the 1st one had loose stones on the sides. My jewler was so awesome and made me a brand new ring that I wanted, and gave us a matching wedding band as a peace offering. I've had it about 2 months, now guess what, today I noticed my center stone loose! What do I do now?
I am so upset, its princess cut, any chance they can do 6 prongs on that cut? HELP

unless you really banged your ring hard that should not happen especially after only 2 months.....maybe you should try a different jeweler?

Yeah that sounds very strange, I hit and slam my left hand all the time and my center stone never came loose. Make sure you use a reputable jeweler, I recommend Good Old Gold in Massapequa.

i got my ering from the same place, and i'm pretty rough w/ banging it up, and my stone is very secure, also a princess cut. maybe you should try having it repaired at a different jeweler.

I agree, and the crazy thing is that I don't even wear it all the time! I take it off to go to my 2nd job, which is waitressing. So this should never happen! I never even banged it. If I have to go to this jewler one more time I will go crazy. I am sick of seeing their faces. I told FH to forget my E-ring lets get our money back and I'll wear my wedding band everyday. He said no.

My center stone has come loose - I just had them tighten the prongs... I am very rough with my ring.

I also recommend Good Old Gold - they are beyond helpful.

Mine is princess cut, and i'm pretty rough with it, but luckily i've never had a problem, but that happened to a girl I work with, also a princess cut diamond. Her jeweler made the prongs thicker and now she doesn't have a problem.

I too have a princess cut center stone.. and I've had to go back to the jeweler to get it tightened once b/c I banged it pretty good.

He said to always be careful with it b/c they tend to become loose more than the other cuts. (I'm assuming it is because of the corners..)

It just p*sses me off that FH spent over 10g's for a ring I have to be careful with. I don't even wear the damned thing every day. Give me a break! I am so tempted to just return it!

I try to take extra good care of it because it's my engagement ring. If you don't want to be careful with it - maybe you should return it and spend less on it.

Agreed. Or at least take it somewhere else and get the prongs fixed.

Well, honestly, I have a 2nd job to help pay for the wedding, which I work there 5 days a week so I honestly only wear my ring on the days I am off from there. So I am wearing my ring like 3 days a week. So it's crazy that this is even happening to me. Not that I don't want to be careful, but what else can I do? I have never banged it or dropped it, and I'm a Admin so when I do wear it to this job, there are no circimstances that hurt my ring. I'm just annoyed that I have to be bothered again!! I really should go somehere else to fix it, but I will inform them first that we bought a piece of crap from them! (sorry had to vent!)

I have princess cut and it defeintly shouldnt be coming loose! THats not righjt.> iw ould bring it back to the jeweler.. Are you sleeping with it ,.. washing with it or brushing it with a brush.. things that get cuaght int eh prongs can eventually losen it.. So just be aware of that!

---

I sleep with my ring every night, wash it with a small brush, etc and my stone has never budged an inch. It does have a 6 prong setting, but still.

It sounds like it might be a problem with the jeweler since this has happened twice. I'd say take it to someone else.

Hey guys! I have a princess cut also. When FH purchased my ring, he made sure that it was certified, and also purchased another lifetime insurance plan through the store. I can go into the store when ever I want to get it cleaned and checked. If by any chance I so happen to lose any stone (god forbid), they would replace it with a similar stone of the same carat, color, and clarity. My ring is engraved with a serial number so they can always find something similar. I just thought it was a good idea to have. Did anyone else get this same service?

We also made sure to get a certified stone, but we insured it through State Farm.
