The ring is here and I cannot wear it

[Babyblue033]

Seriously. My ring is finally here after 5 weeks and we have to return it because there''s something wrong with it

I know it''s happened to some ladies here but I never thought it would actually happen to me.

Ring arrived on Thursday and I didn''t open it (like a good girl) because even though I was totally involved in the whole process we had agreed that once the ring arrives it would be up to my BF to decide when to propose with it. But we did receive a picture of it the day before so we were looking at that, and that''s when we realized the little stones surrounding the center diamond looked smaller than the photo on the website, as well as photos of people here who has the same/similar setting. I was so upset that BF let me look/try the ring since we''ll be returning it to be fixed. And wow, it is beautiful and the stone is to DIE for!

We talked about just keeping it since it really is beautiful and the change may not be all that visibly obvious (very obvious in photos, but those are enlarged), but just for the peace of our minds we decided we should wait to get it right.

But I''m really bummed out!

This was such a huge thing, anticipation has been building for weeks, and to find out at the end that I can''t keep it is very sad. I was looking forward to finally be able to share my own ring pictures with you ladies but it''s not to be...

Oh No! I''m sorry. That must be really frustrating. *hugs*

Agh! How frustrating. The suspense, would kill me. Good luck! You''ll be happy to have it perfect when it comes back home.

that is terribly frustrating! i feel your pain! We ordered the trellis/x-prong setting from whiteflash and many WEEKS later (they were supposed to be making it all this time) they called my BF to tell him that they couldn''t make it for a diamond as SMALL as mine (even though they had previously said it was no problem)!!! Apparently everyone in the world wears ginormous diamonds these days and a 1/3 carat is simply too small for them to make a setting for. Long story short, we ordered an identical setting from adiamor for $700 less and they custom made it perfectly. It just sucks that the whole process takes soooo long, much longer than i had ever anticipated when i set out on this engagement ring journey. Good for you for being patient and sending it back so you can get EXACTLY what you want!!! Can''t wait to see pictures of your gorgeous ring when it does arrive!

That''s frustrating. When will you get it back?

I wasn''t able to wear mine either. I''m actually starting to think that it''s quite common.

Well I''m wearing the ring for now since my guy decided to go ahead with the proposal despite the ring now being right. So at least I get to wear it for a few more days before we have to return it!

Setting is Beverly K and it originally took about 5 weeks to make. I''m not sure what they plan on doing, but most likely it''ll take another 5 weeks. I have to admit, I''m having second thoughts now that I''m actually wearing the ring. The difference is not all that obvious in IRL as it looks in photos and the ring really is gorgeous, but then again in my head I know it''s not quite what it should be and that might bother me down the road.

I think I''m going to have it sized up a little too while I''m at it. I got 4.75 but I think 5 might be a little more comfortable.
