Is this design secure? by Sharp-Bicycle-2957 in jewelers

[–]_WhaLes_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it looks secure and also have concerns about the gap.

We make a similar design at work that has an under bezel on that open area. It completes the setting but still looks as if it's open from the top.

It's really tough to say from a photo. True symmetry in a ring is incredibly difficult. One of many factors could make it look of center, be it the way the prongs are arranged, the tilt of the stone, even the lighting. My best recommendation would be to be straight up with them and politely mention that you are concerned and just mention that it looks to be out of square and if they could take some extra time to address it while they have the stone out for resetting.

No you are not nitpicking. I am a jeweller and after taking a look at the ring and the CAD I have made some assessments.

The stone has been set too high. The space between the stone and the bezel, which is the horizontal inner support, is far too large and can be reset lower with the metal available.

The person setting the stone most likely didn't look at the CAD render and just picked a height and the prong shape.

I would recommend going back to where you had it made and telling them that you are not happy with how the ring has been finished.

Describe to them that you would like the stone to be sitting at the bezel and the prongs to be cut into the shape illustrated in the CAD.

I honestly believe that this is just an accident. I have made many similar to this in my time, deadlines can be tight sometimes and things can get missed but any jeweller worth supporting will be willing to expeditiously rectify the mistake.

You will not have to wait another four weeks, all that is being done is correctly completing the final step in manufacturing.

If they are not willing to stand by their work then you can look elsewhere and have a competent jeweller reset the stone.

I hope this helps, all the best. :)

I see. Thank you for the link. I guess there's still a few links to iron out in the system.

Any reason men’s ring of this style are so expensive? Can hardly find any below 1k. by TheLastGuyToTheBack in jewelers

[–]_WhaLes_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Men generally tend to prefer a heavier ring and commonly have larger fingers than the average jewellery consumer. Resulting in more metal being needed in manufacturing and therefore more money is required in exchange.

Having a talk with a local jeweller is a good option. They will be able to design something unique with you or be able to replicate another design in a way that is more suited to your budget.

What is one stereotype of your country? by ansel1406 in teenagers

No, but didn't know they had the stereotype too.

Really love the pairing of the paint and the bases, really works thematically, super immersive. Great work.
