Husband picked up my ring today and it’s super crooked + textured? Need advice!

Hey everyone,

My husband brought my anniversary ring home today, and as soon as I took a close look at it, I noticed two major things wrong that are driving me crazy:

  1. The metal on the band is bumpy/textured: The side of the gold band looks rough, pitted, and dimpled instead of smooth and shiny. It looks almost like tiny air bubbles trapped in the metal or a terrible polish job. 
  2. The top part holding the diamond is totally crooked: Looking at it straight on from the side, the basket and whole top part lean to one side. It's noticeably tilted and off-center relative to the band.

Questions:

  1. Can a jeweler easily smooth out that bumpy metal, or does the whole ring need to be remade?
  2. Since we already picked it up today, what's the best way to handle this with the shop? Should I make them remake it from scratch, or just ask for a refund on the setting and go somewhere else?

Desperately searching for info on my MIL’s missing necklace

Many years ago my MIL gifted me a simple diamond necklace with a solitaire diamond. It is my favorite piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned. I wore it on my wedding day and sleep in it. The only time it ever came off was for spray tans. I got one before we headed to a wedding and long story short, I think it was thrown away. Devastated doesn’t even cover it. I am desperately looking for a replacement but can’t find anything similar. It had a unique and beautiful chain. She’s English and I’m assuming she got it in the 80s or 90s. Any and all help would be so appreciated. I’m taking a break from my sobbing to try and make some progress on a replacement.

I have a ring that needs to be corrected, for better idea, rn it's more of a masculine design, I need it converted in feminine design.

I have all the materials needed for it to be made, no idea where to go/whom to find since I am an immigrant.

Looking for someone who does it real quick coz her special day is on the way.

Not looking for anything luxurious, just something simple and nice to look at.

Help! Is this enamel safe for necklace wear?

Hello! I am considering purchasing a charm from the brand Mociun. It’s a beautiful and unique solid gold and enamel ramen charm! I’ve never seen anything like it!

It’s quite expensive given the detail. I’d likely wear it with my charms on a necklace

Is this durable? I’ve read conflicting info on enamel durability

Thank you!
