Hello! I've been reading these forums staying in the background for awhile and finally decided to take the plunge and ordered a 6.5 mm hearts and arrows Round last Sunday. I received it today and sent it with my ring to be set. I wish I had taken pictures before I sent it. Anyway, I went to 2 different places and both said they set CZs but it would take 3-4 days. Is this normal? Since CZs aren't marked as such, how will I know if they switched it with some cheap CZ? I wanted them to set it while I waited but both said they couldn't and now I'm paranoid I am going to be replaced with some cheap one. Can someone please please please tell me that you drpped off your ring and got back what you gave them? I just want it now!! =D BTW, anyone on the fence about buying one, the quality is AMAZING! I expected the presentation to be more than an envelope upon delivery, but oh well. I'd rather save a few bucks and get it in an envelope than pay premium for nice packaging.
On another note, does anyone have a tacori 2522 who can upload pictures while I wait for mine to be done on Friday? There's hardly ANY pictures when I google it!!

I think 3 to 4 days is actually pretty quick turn-around. Not to worry, I'm sure they will not ruin their reputation on any CZ Asha or otherwise.

I agree. If its a reputable jeweler, I don't think they would risk doing a switch with your Asha.

I'm confident you will get your original Asha back

The price difference isn't so huge that a jeweler would risk his reputation by switching a cz for an asha, imo. And if he did, what would he do with one single asha? I wouldn't worry.

Thanks. I have never had any jewelry worked on and I know that an asha isn't that expensive, but I guess it's the fact it's out of my hands now. Thanks for easing my fears. I will post pics when I get it back (hopefully Friday!!!!).

I got it back! The stone is beautiful but the guy messed up my prongs . I'm going to try to upload some pics.

Figured it out.

Ok here's another. I LOVE the stone. It showed up a different color than the sides stones when I use a flash on my cell, but it looks the same IRL

I am so happy!

beautiful! I love it.
