I have a story to share about my e-ring drama. I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my wonderful DH. When we got engaged, DH gave me a beautiful diamond set in a simple 6 prong solitaire with the intention that I would eventually choose my dream setting and upgrade one day.

Well about two months after we got engaged (Dec 2008), I stumbled across my dream setting. I made myself wait until now to make sure I was 100% certain this is the one I wanted, but I finally took the plunge. I put down my deposit, placed the order and waited for about 6 weeks. Finally, the ring arrived and it was... wrong. Don't get me wrong, it was a beautiful ring, but it was very different from the sample in the store. After some soul searching, I decided to go back and voice my concerns. Long story short, the store owner agreed to have it remade (after a long battle). So again I wait for about 4 more weeks and it finally came in yesterday.. again, wrong. This time a lot closer to the original sample, but there were some big enough differences still that I wasn't comfortable taking it home, I wanted it to be made correctly first.

Now it is being remade for a 3rd time. The jeweler hired by the store owner is literally making a 3rd whole new ring. I am really starting to lose faith that they can actually make a good enough replica of the ring I ordered, but they convinced me to go through it again. I don't have much information about how long it will take or how certain I am it will come out right, but I need encouragement from the hive!

Has anyone else had an experience like this? Sorry I don't have any pictures to share :(
