I am so frustrated and anxious right now and I just have to vent!
My sister is getting married this Saturday and she wanted our mom''s old e-ring stone reset into a pave halo pendant so she could wear it (it has been in a YG setting). I contacted Whiteflash, because I knew that they would do an excellent job. We got everything all sorted out, despite the hurricane and looming deadline, and on the 27th of September, I shipped the stone Registered Insured US mail.
IT IS NOT THERE, YET! I say "yet" because I am still holding out hope that this sentimental item is not lost forever. As it is, we had to nix the custom setting. The wonderful people at WF said that if the stone arrived in time, they would at least set it in a temporary white gold, four prong setting with a chain and overnight it to the palce where she is getting married (rather than to my town, as origianlly planned, since I am leaving tomorrow to drive down there). But it has yet to arrive and my level of anxiety keeps growing.
At the post office, they originally told me it would be 4 or five days...it has now been more than two weeks! When I spoke with them on Friday, they said they have been having plane problems because of the storms, but that it should definitely arrive by Tues. Now I''m really getting concerned that it has been lost. And I only insured it for $1000, because we have no paperwork on it. I know it is around half a carat, colorless to my eye (D-F?) and eye clean, but included. Unfortunately, I have no way to prove any of this!
I won''t be able to get to my post office until tomorrow, but WF has asked USPS to initiate a search for the package to find out where it is. Hopefully, we will hear back soon. In the mean time, I am completely distraught and my sister, occasionally known as Bridezilla, is not happy with me for choosing to mail the stone in the first place. I don''t even want to think of the argument this is going to cause if she has to go with out it!
ARGHHHHHHH!
