Errors in retipping claws => 4 photos

 I was looking at a friend's mother's ring and noticed some irregularities with the centre stone claws.

 This ring caught my immediate attention, and I asked her to let me take a few photos of it. Here is what I saw, an amazing discovery, agree?

 Her ring was recently retipped, and one claw was not even resting on the stone. We both were in agreement that this should be attended to as soon as possible. Imagine having a 'keepsake' diamond held in place with only 3 claws?

 

  Just because the ring was highly polished does not mean that it has no further problems.

 When you are examining any 'previously worn' jewellery, always check the condition of the claws =>before and afterwards.<=

 Just for some interesting pieces of information. You can see that the 4-claw settings were soldered together with the collection of other wedding bands. I hope that this is a good lesson for you.
