MAJOR 12 errors with this completed Diamond Ring. (11 photos)

This cast ring had so many problems that could write for hours teaching you how not to set stones like this setter did. I'm going to number each of as I go along, agree?

=================================================

1) The Rhodium plating was poorly applied along the upper edge.

2) There are defects where the bead-burnisher touched the right-side of the diamond area.

3) The claws are too long (or high) above the diamond.

4) Each of the claws are unfinished from any trimming from any filing. 

5) The Bead-Burnishing had metal defects on the lower and outside claws.

6) There is squeezing of the bead-tips. (I could use some vulgarity describing how this looks).

7) The inside edge wasn't Bright-Cut. It just looks rough as no care was given to the actual setting.

8) This is another view of the claws and how they appear.

9)  The sides of the ring had no finishing from the jewellers labour.

10) The sides of the claws were never cleaned, its too late to do this now...(post setting).

11) You can see that the holes for the shoulder stones were not drilled through. The diamonds will never shine as no light will gain access to them.

12) The inner-basket where the center stone will eventually sit has not been 'pre-polished'.
