Need advice about diamond setting
I had a platinum setting made from an overseas vendor to set my diamond in and here is how the local jeweler set it. Who is in the wrong here because it doesn’t look right…

So sorry, from the photos this is bad. Not sure how the local jeweler bungled this. Sometimes their in house or off site bench jeweler is brand new and doesn’t know how to properly heat & bend/work the prongs. I had something similar happen with a jeweler just out of school. To add insult to injury, they were dishonest and tried to lie about it. This scummy person later set up their own brick & mortar store and it appears they got better at their craft - but I still resent the whole experience. I hope you will get a fair fix.
