My long-awaited custom eternity upgrade set turned out lousy!

Awww, sorry you had to go through all that! *hugs* At least now it seems that things will go more smoothly from here. It sounds like the jeweler was receptive and willing to work on it to make you happy that''s great. Bummer it has gotten delayed, but your worries about the whole thing with the re-do charge etc can be put to rest. I can''t wait to see it! I am very excited for you! Another postive point is that he has done the wedding band which you like! I can''t wait for pictures. Hopefully it won''t take him too long to do. That is true about the Valentine''s rush and all. I know my jeweler was slammed around Valentine''s Day... I think most good jewelers probably are.

Believe me, I know how small and insignificant this whole thing is in the scheme of things and that while I sulk because my expensive custom made rings weren''t right, people everywhere are dealing with real problems! When I think about it like that, I realize that my whining probably deserves a good smack instead of sympathy...but I am just so disappointed.

Anyway - your sympathetic words are appreciated!

shebabes, I can so TOTALLY relate to what you said above. I too am getting a custom setting done, and I was stressing before even seeing the finished product! And I too feel like, "gee, some people have real problems!" and feel guilty, but we are paying good money to get these things done, and when they''re on our hands we look at them and see every detail, and they are supposed to bring us pleasure, not disgust - otherwise, why spend the money? - so don''t feel bad about your frustrations! I do hope that in the end you get it right. It is good that your DH assured you about that. But I totally sympathize with you, for what it''s worth!!

3Shebas hang in there! I had a VERY similar experience when I got my 3-stone ring made this Christmas and agonized over asking them to re-do it, but they did re-do it and I am very happy with the result. I''m sure it will turn out fine!

Oh, and yeah

big blingy stones in the band! Your hand will stop traffic.

3SB, I''m so glad you posted the update! I can''t wait to see the final ring!
I don''t think you''ve been whining at all! I totally relate to your frustration, and I think you have an excellent attitude about it!

Your band is more blingy now eh?

Bring on the BLINGATHON!
