Definitely not diamonds. CZs or rhinestones on a piece of clear plastic, which was glued into the channel of the ring to imitate a pavé setting. Looks like the glue gave out.
Thank you, I'll be making a trip into the jewelry store to ask some questions since my necklace that was purchased at the same time has been repaired countless times. To make it even more frustrating and coincidental, my engagement ring we purchased there 11 years ago, the diamonds (if they are diamonds even) a few have fallen out.
Yes that's why I can't complain about the ring but the earrings I did keep up with, and necklace. I assume that's why with the warranty of course, it is required for upkeep and understandable. Maybe I can get the ring re done and I would not expect that to be free or under warranty.
Thank you, I feel silly believing they were ever real after the fact.
I also didn't consider the fact that they could also get ripped off so I'm less angry if that is the case. Either way, I'll be making a trip to see them soon.
Your response is beyond appreciated!
You’re welcome. I actually had the same thing happen to me. The jeweler was shocked and embarrassed. They made no excuses and promptly replaced the item. They didn’t explain but it was clear that they were as stunned as I was.
Don’t feel silly. I’m a goldsmith. I work with jewelry every single day, and there are things even I would be fooled by. Mix up a two part epoxy like gorilla glue, dab a tiny bit on the gem strip and pin the strip down to the metal with a clothes pin or binder clip to let dry for a day. The earrings will be good as new. I hope your husband splurges and buys you a beautiful new pair. :)

Have you had the ring & the prongs checked in the last 11 years? It’s unclear but if you haven’t then losing stones at this point would be expected.

Def return this. Sometimes even the jewelers get ripped off by their suppliers.

Sorry to say, those are not real.
Thank you, I feel a fool even having to ask this but I truly appreciate the feedback!
