They could do it of course but the jeweler warned me 12 more prongs were bad and lots of other diamonds were in danger of falling out. They advised me not to wear the ring - and all could be fixed to the tune of $550. I got a second opinion - after the jeweler at Southern Trace examined my ring closely he found only one other prong broken. Replacement and prongs fixed for a total cost of $50. My recommendation - always get a second opinion!
Now I can confidently say that I have had two other separate jewelers examine this ring and after having the prongs fixed where the diamond fell out - each jeweler stated the ring is in good shape and there is NOTHING else wrong with the ring.
