ring-less again vent :-(

As some of you may remember, i've had issues with my e-ring ...

in short:
-- i went to get it re-appraised and the woman told me that two side stones were not set properly
-- called the jeweler that FH bought the ring from (who's a family friend) and he said not to worry about it, that he would fix it ... but he couldn't make an appointment with us for another 2 or 3 months. fine.
-- 1 month later, one of the side diamonds fell out (grr)
-- FH called the jeweler and he said he'll fix it .... while there, we also asked him to re-size the setting and make it a quarter size smaller. i was ring-less for 3 days ()
-- got the e-ring back and not only was the 'fixed' stone STILL not set properly, but the ring itself was not a perfect circle (it was more of an oval now). The jeweler told FH 'yeah, i was meaning to mention that to you ... i'll fix it' ... well W.T.F. - why couldn't he tell us ahead of time rather than trying to get away with it?

so now this idiot jeweler has one last chance. he took my e-ring just now and will be re-doing the ENTIRE ring (getting a new setting and all). he said it'll take two weeks.

so now i'm 'naked' for two whole weeks

if there's ANYTHING wrong with the ring this time, i am going to ask for the money back and we'll buy a ring elsewhere. it had BETTER be perfect...!!!

... vent over

I'm so sorry you're going through this... he didn't supply a 'loaner' ring? FH's cousin had to have hers re-set and sized and they gave her a loaner... of equal value that SHE picked out.. in the off chance that something happened to her ring.

your jeweler isn't a liweddings vendor is it?

def sounds weird. He should be able to fix some things then and there.

At least you won't have to worry anymore when it's back ( ). I'd feel so naked without my ring!

no loaner ring ... i was *this* close to buying something (fake) today though but i decided to save my money lol.

this jeweler is some wholesale supplier or something ... he's awful and, AFAIK, not an LIW vendor

he wanted to 'make it right' so he's re-doing everything from scratch. but i seriously don't understand why he couldn't have ordered the new setting already and just taken a day or two to put the old stones in the new setting!

i will seriously kill him if it doesn't come back absolutely perfect.

I had problems with my ring. It's my FH's Grandmother's ring. When we had him size it the bottom part (the underside) was not a perfect circle. I have tiny fingers so that was the best that could be done without compromising the setting. So that maybe why you have an oval. I also had to have 2 balls put on the bottom to make it smaller. That was the easy part...the horrible part was that he dropped my ring when we went to pick it up and I didn't notice until we were in the car going to an even that the stone was loose. I had to go to 2 places and about 5 visits later my stone is ok...I hope. I'm still a nervous wreck about it b/c it's an heirloom now. I petrified of losing a stone. But his mom pushes me to wear it and not worry about the stones. She's thrilled to see me wear it which makes me happy since it was her mom's and she could always hate me like some FMIL's do.

I would get it appraised again after you get it back, just to have peace of mind that you still got what you paid for.

That sounds extremely frustrating!!!!
