Question
Why does my ring snag on everything? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Answer
If you wear your jewelry often, you probably strike it daily against hard objects. This gradually causes wear and tear, and bends and sharpens the prongs. The ring will eventually snag your clothes, catch on nylons, and even scratch yourself or your children.
When prongs bend and sharpen, they begin to lose their tight grip on your diamond. This is actually a good warning sign to tell you to repair your ring! The next thing that could happen is that you notice your diamond is gone!
If you have a ring that snags, you may send it to me for an estimate to repair. I will handle it with the utmost care. Here is a link that will help you safely send your jewelry to me for free inspection: http://www.galleryofdiamonds.com/fine-jewelry-mailing.html

Yep, I can attest to this! I lost a diamond this way. Had it replaced with a beautiful sapphire though, so not all was lost.
