is that one of the deep-blue, heart-shaped sapphires that flanked the diamond of the ring that Hunny gave me is MIA!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Mikey2 and I were talking about the ring he's going to buy me (if his Mom thinks it's good enough for me) and I looked down at my perfect, beautiful ring from Hunny and *ACK!* missing stone! Upon closer inspection, it looks like one of the prongy-thingies holding the stone in broke off & bye-bye rock. I thought platinum wasn't supposed to break, dammit.
I'd have burst into tears had my boss not been sitting within hearing range in the next office.
It's nowhere on my desk and if it's not in the office, then there is no hope of me ever finding it. Stooopid blue-grey carpet in the office. I didn't even bang or smash my hand on anything, that I can remember.
I'm going to have to stay late until after my boss leaves the office to crawl around on my hands and knees before the cleaning crew comes to vacuum.
[Say a little "hope-Joz-finds-her-rock wish" for me!]
Posted by jozjozjoz at May 30, 2003 03:36 PMPlatinum can be a bit brittle, even though it is quite tough.
Can you claim on insurance?
When you get the stone replaced, make sure they check the other claws and re-tip them if they look a bit iffy.
It's a bugger when that happens..
*hug*

Posted by: krix at May 30, 2003 06:53 PMIt's my fault for drawing your attention to it. :/

Posted by: Rachel at May 30, 2003 07:29 PMThe jewelry company I've bought things from in the past (Helzberg) used to have an inspection program where they would check your prongs every six months, and if inbetween you lost a stone they replaced it. How old is the ring? You might want to pester the jeweler if it isn't very old. I know that absolutely sickening feeling when something like that happens - it sucks! Sorry...
