engagement ring diamond is loose in its setting?
the diamond in my engagement ring keeps getting loose. When I first got it it was really loose so I had it tightened. The jeweler said there was always a chance the corner could chip while tightening it so he didn't tighten it all the way. So now it is loose again. It just slides a little bit when i push it with my finger nail. It is a Princess Cut (square) with a prong holding it at each corner. Should I be worried that it will fall out? If I take it to get tightened at a different store should I be worried about the corner chipping if they tighten it too much?
I dont have insurance on it and my fiance bought it from a jeweler that is several states away from where I am... eek
In regards to your question, first off the jeweler that helped you tighten it the first time was right in the sense that with princess cut diamonds you must be very careful with the tips because they are prone to chipping if too much force is applied. There are a few ways to remedy this; if possible you can have the prong setting or head replaced. To an experienced jeweler this should not be a hard thing to do on a simple solitaire setting. Change it to a setting that is more secure, there are various types that will work with a princess. If you're engagement ring is in a fancier setting then it would really depend on the skills of the jeweler and their recommendations. Ask around to see who does very good work. Also I must tell you to stop pushing and poking at the diamond. A diamond is a lot harder then the platinum or white gold setting it is sitting in. Because you probably are constantly pushing it back and forth with your fingernails to check how loose it is you are actually cutting the metal with the diamond, thus making it looser. It might be because you don't have peace of mind with the original setting and so by checking it you are actually making it worse. I'm not saying to not check, what I usually tell my clients is if you hit your ring or diamond against something then take a fingernail and place it between the prongs, on the edge (girdle) of the diamond and scratch lightly to see if it's moving. If it is take it off immediately and bring it to me or in your case an experienced jeweler to check and re-tighten. Do not pick and push at it, because it makes it worse and weakens the metal. I would suggest in your case to change the head completely and get it done by an expert that can also help you protect the corners, there are techniques that master jewelers employ to make it less susceptible to chipping, and will give you peace of mind. But make sure they are ok with doing it because the last thing you want is a chipped stone that nobody wants to take responsibility for. If you think it's better to send it back to the original store then do so, but make sure they understand your requests and see if they'll accomodate you or charge a reasonable fee to service you. Now after you have a new head/setting don't push it, use the same technique I wrote about above when you first get it so you know how a secure and tight feel is, and check it the same way each time you hit it. Remember never push or twist to feel for looseness!!! Good luck to you!
