Is it normal to have a loose stone in my ring?
Is It Normal for Diamonds to Become Loose?
Yes, it’s normal.
While loose stones can be caused by a problem with the ring, it usually happens from everyday wear and tear.
It’s like getting a flat tire on your car—not because the tire is bad, but because it hit something sharp.
Why Did My New Ring Have a Loose Stone So Soon, While My Old Ring Stayed Secure for Years?
This is a common question. Not all jewelry is the same. Some rings might never have a loose stone, while others need more frequent care.
It depends on how the stones are set and where they’re placed. For example, a ring with stones all around (like an eternity band) might need more maintenance than a ring with stones only on the top. A common prong setting is also more likely to have loose stones than a channel-set band, which has metal on both sides of the stones for protection.
