A couple of weeks ago, I had my wedding and engagement rings cleaned at the jeweler where they were purchased. They were also checked to make sure none of the diamonds were loose.
Last week, I noticed my engagement ring had a rattle to it. So I took it to the jeweler and got it fixed. As a perk they cleaned it for me! He said that it was a good thing that I came and got it fixed but not to worry because the center stone and the design is created so in order for the stone to fall out the entire ring would have to be broken. Whew! Knock-on-wood, I don't plan to break my ring. But, I'm glad to have gotten it fixed!

I'm so glad that I noticed because I'd be so sad if I lost the stone. My mom gave me a sapphire ring for my 30th birthday that I believe my dad gave to her on her birthday. I had the ring sized and cleaned and about three weeks later when I was on the road for work (in Texas, I remember!), I sat down on the airplane, looked down and noticed that the center stone was missing. I was devastated and cried. I was so embarrassed. I was sitting next to a sports reporter for the Washington Post and he was super nice to me about it but embarrassed nonetheless. The stone was never found. Fortunately, the ring was insured AND because it had just been "serviced" the sapphire was replaced at the expense of the jeweler who had sized and cleaned it. I'm glad that it worked out but I was still so sad.
Have you ever lost any of your stones from any of your rings?
