My ring is antique - from 1925 - and I took it in to the appraiser because the diamond seemed loose. It was, and apparently there is a crack in the setting so he has to send it out to get it fixed. I won't have it back for 2 weeks!
I feel so 'un-engaged!'

I understand....I'd feel naked if I went out without my ring. But, it's better that your getting it fixed and that the loose stone didn't fall out. That would be much worse. Right?

Totally - the guy I went to said to me - well it could last for another 10 years this way - or you could hit your hand tomorrow and it could crack all the way.
So I said - fix it!

Not passed down - bought from an antique store in Manhattan...
My mom has an antique ring and I always loved it - so I told FH that was what I wanted too...
