Hello eveyone,
I just had a new ring custome made for a trillion stone, with double prongs. In the pictures I got before receiving the ring, I noticed that one corner of the stone is seemingly held only by the very tip of those thin prongs. As in, there is a significant gap between the stone and the base of the prong. I thought that may just be due to the viewing angle. When I recieved the ring, I realized that the gap really exists and the girdle of the stone is not held by the prong, it is only the very small bit of the crown that is in contact with the prong. It seemed like the base of the prong is too far from the stone so the prong was precariously reaching over to meet the stone. I examined all my other rings, and none of my other rings seem to have this type of thing going on. I am wondering if this is normal, and if it poses any security risk? I am scared of losing the stone as the stone is really held only by three prongs (I don't think the split double prongs count as two individual prongs). Thanks for looking.

Different angle
Other sides have prongs that are more flush - this is what I am used to seeing
