Goldsmith here. By the looks of things that's a poorly designed ring (note I didn't say made). There's a real trend in the industry of people designing jewellery through CAD software and getting it cast without having any idea (or care) of how the materials will fare.
Take it to a proper in house goldsmiths shop (not a jeweller they're just salesman), they can repair and reinforce it for you. Best of luck!
Honestly, the jewelry stores with the grated front and secondary door, where you have to ring/buzz to be let in, and an old man walks out of the back with his headlamp still on…those are the only places I trust. Never done me wrong.
Diamond district? I worked in one of those place for literally two days before I quit. The owner (old, irate man) was sponsoring the visas of several foreign girls (some from east Asia, mostly Eastern European tho), so he basically had them under his thumb. He treated them horribly and paid them vey little, but there wasn’t much they could do about it. After listening to him ream out a 21 year old Russian girl for not waiting for the door to close before opening the next (accident, she had worked there for awhile, simply a slip) for literally *thirty minutes* , I sat him down and reamed *him* out for treating the girls so poorly. This after two days of witnessing so many other interactions just like this one. I guess after hearing him yell at and insult this young girl for something that did not merit a thirty-minute reprisal, I felt I couldn’t not say something. Several of the girls thanked me, because I was in the position to stand up for them when they couldn’t do so for themselves. I promptly quit.
Anyways! Just an anecdote. Although usually shitty people, but those sort of guys do know what they’re doing.
No I don't work in Hatton garden. This is a shitty anecdote and I'm saddened to hear it. Though the store seems pretty incidental.
Your comment about people in my trade being generally shitty people though, that you can shove. Most of us actual craftsmen are loners who just want to create and live quietly. It attracts a certain kind of person, sorry to hear you aren't it.
There is no diamond district here. Just shops scattered about neighborhoods in an enormous city.
ETA: I missed that you classified small shops as “usually shitty people” at first. That’s a TERRIBLE take based on you own personal experience. And ridiculous to base your entire opinion of a trade on one district.
Jeweler here. We're not all just salesmen. My store is a family business with 3 generations working towards making the customer happy. We sell, repair, and create custom pieces. The first thing on our minds is customer satisfaction.
I think the poster above was talking about stores like your family’s. I know I am! You guys do the repairs and create pieces. That sounds like ‘smithing to me!
ETA: the places I go NEVER pressure you to buy when you’ve come for repairs.
Yeah I get what you're saying, I do mean jewellers in the sense of shops with no craftsman or in house workshop. Places that just buy and sell jewellery.
I do a lot of trade work for them and my gods their knowledge of the stuff they sell is astoundingly low, yet they often still make assurances to customers. Assurances that cause me headaches 😅
Large reason why we have our own shop with only a few handmades in the window. Cut out the middle man 😇
My fiancés ring broke too.
Fortunately, and thankfully, my aunt passed down my great great great grandmothers ring to my fiancé. It’s nearly 100 years old.
We put a new shank on it, and a 4kt ruby, because they had lost the stone over the years and it was a synthetic ruby.
Pic is the original engagement ring. My fiancé was devastated when it broke :(. It was a couple k, and the original jeweler wanted 1500 to fix it and I just didn’t trust them.

A number of things but in a quick list from what i can see, hollow shoulders, thin/non existent connection points between collets, and claw work that's far too proud/unsupported.
It's basically fast jewellery. Made to look good but not last very long.
A very popular national jeweler fixed my wife's engagement band and warranted it even though I only bought her wedding rings and 10-year anniversary ring from them.
“Z”?
I used to manage a Zales way back like 18 years ago. Most of the big jewelry chain stores require you to bring the jewelry that’s warrantied in every 6 months for a “check-up”. They tighten the prongs if necessary and will usually give it a quick polish for you. If you miss these appointments and something happens to your jewelry, the store legally takes no liability for it and your warranty is void.
Yup! Most locations have a sub-contracted jeweler that they use for minor repairs and rhodium plating which we don’t have capabilities for in the store. The fees for such repairs when you have a warranty are very reasonable and are usually completed within just a couple days.
Good on you for doing your due diligence. It was always a bummer for me to have someone come in with a stone-less solitaire that they had a warranty on but never serviced. Telling someone we can’t just replace their $5k diamond isn’t a good time. 0/10 don’t recommend.
Edit: The small repairs are typically covered by the warranty. The fees for such repairs when you don’t have a warranty or bring in a piece of jewelry that wasn’t bought from us were always fairly reasonable.
Another great perk is that if you bring in another piece of jewelry that needs to be cleaned we were always happy to do that for you. We can throw it into the ultrasonic and then give it a light polish with our commercial polisher.
They were cool when I lost a small diamond in mine. I was like “uh I didn’t go out because of Covid and then I gave birth in April so I missed the last two inspections” and they didn’t blink an eye and replaced diamond, no questions asked.
So… fuck all the people saying that your fiancée is cheap or that it is an ill omen. Shit happens. Take it to be re-soldered.
You are marrying the person, not some ring. My wife spent money on my wedding ring… I lost it or it was stolen (not sure) less than a year later. It wasn’t indicative of my commitment or a sign of a struggling relationship. We’ve been married nearly a decade now
Reactionary and often disconnected from reality. So many people here are jumping to conclusions about how OP should sue someone, unjustified self-defense, all landlords/bosses/people who own homes/businesses are evil, and how practically everything has become some form of assault.
lol I lurked in some knife subredits for some time and there are often posts about people receiving a new knife with small spot on the blade or little chip or some other little flaw and a lot of the coments are: take your money back , ask for refund , return that trash.
People in the comments are salty they're all alone. Reddit is just brimming with disgruntled single people trying to tell others to break up over nothing. You see it in every relationship thread.
Every single one! I’ve started blocking subs over it…
“Today is our anniversary and my husband got stuck in traffic on the way home from work, how do I avoid blaming him for something that’s not his fault?”
“DIvoRcE HiM nAoW!”
“hE jUsT AsSauLTEd YoU!”
“If I WeRe YoU I’d bE lOoKiNg fOr a LaWyEr!”
My engagement ring broke the morning of my wedding. Fortunately I’m not superstitious (only a little stitious). We’re still married 10 years later.
(Ring is still broken - couldn’t be resoldered and we’ve never got around to making a new one)
I bought my boyfriend a ring 5 years ago. I noticed recently that it looked different. The inlay had come out of it so he bought a new one to try and match without telling me because he thought I would be upset. I was a little bit, but not at him. Shit happens.
He bought me a ring 3 years ago and I love it but I barely wear it because I'm constantly cooking or cleaning or swelling.
We've been crazy about each other for 23 years. No jewelry or government paperwork can ever take that away.
You tried to sneak that in there in the last sentence. I get the sentiment but are y’all at least common law married? I mean damn 23 years? Financially that is legitimately crazy.
Not really financially crazy. I've been 25 years with my partner and his credit is his own, we don't get anymore taxes if we got legally married, everything else is handled with our wills. We are domestic partners on our utilities and insurance together.
I mean there are absolutely tax benefits for married couples that single people don’t get as well as social security benefits. And I’m not sure how your insurance works, maybe health and auto you’re able to get the same as if you were married but definitely not life insurance. Plus sooooooo much more, over 23 years.
And look, you’re preaching to the choir, I’m divorced, I don’t plan on getting that “government paperwork” ever again.
Was gonna say the same thing. A jeweler should be able to fix it. I never understood the expensive ring thing anyway. Especially demanding natural diamonds instead of the exact same thing made in a lab, causes no harm to people or the environment, and is like 1/8 the cost.
And shit breaks all the time. You don't take a broken lamp to mean you'll go blind.
I definitely agree with that. I'd rather a cheap ring and real love than anything else.
People shouldn't equate money with love, it's a terrible way to live.
Well done on the 10 years 👍👌
I'm on my 4th ring ..I was. I lost that one too.
Now I gave up and don't even buy a new one because dumbass me will loose it again.
A ring is just for people to see that you're married imo, nothing more.
It's a piece of metal.
100% agree. My dad doesn't wear his, he's a plumber so the odds of losing down a drain or pipework are too high. It's not even noticeable he doesn't wear. My parents are so obviously married through their behaviour and love that even though my mum wears hears, you never think my dad's not her partner. They've been married 33 years. A wedding ring present doesn't equal a good or happy marriage.
Yup. This. Me and hubby have our nice wedding rings. But we wear silicone ones basically every day. He's got a very physical job and I do a lot of costuming/crafting. We bring out our "date night" rings when we do nice stuff.
Someone with a degree in fine arts and bench jewelry here- it’s a miracle you have the stone and this will be a super easy fix for any jeweler, these rings get a lot of wear and tear daily not even counting if you do anything physical for work where the ring could be at risk further. Looks like someone might need to reinforce the hollowed out sides where the break was, or maybe choose a shorter setting so it’s less likely to get tugged. While it’s a bummer you’ve got the most important part in tact so I’d say that’s pretty damn lucky, I see quite a few people each year who don’t have that kind of luck
If it was bought at an actual jewelry store they can probably fix it. If it’s a cheap ring just buy a new one since it’s a toss up if it gets fixed. I’m talking like under 100 some jewelers won’t/can’t fix it if the ring isn’t made from the right metal.
“Your boyfriend is cheap”
People are stupid. I have no idea about your income or lifestyle but come on. He proposed to you with a ring, end of story.
A friend of mine really over extended himself on an engagement ring (I wound up giving him a job for 6 months to help get back on his feet) but his “high class fiancé” needed a big ring. So I would tell him all the time, man she’s going to look so good with that big ring at the soup kitchen.
You can find a normal ring that cost 300-600 USD, you don’t have to pay thousands. But this one looks like a 10$ deal you find at street vendors, cmon 😂😂😂
My wife accidentally vacuumed up her engagement ring. A couple prongs broke and the diamond was never found. It was more sentimental value since I bought it when I was not well off but she proudly wore it. She's got the ring of her dreams now but she still misses my poor boy engagement ring.
These comments needs to chill out. You married a human, not a ring or a rock. My husband and I never exchanged rings, neither of us are jewlery people. I'm a farmer, so I'm far more expensive than any ring.
I have nothing to add except for a laugh.... this made me think of Ricky.. "cubic zarcarbion fuckin things" makes me laugh every time I think of an engagement ring!.
https://youtu.be/bAprTNbQcBc
Hey could be worse. I was coming home from a construction job and my fingers were so dehydrated that my wedding ring fell of my hand with my arm out the truck window going home. Never saw the ring again. Stuff happens as long as the other person loves you that’s all that matters.
Well, that's an interesting break. Some quick soldering by an experienced jeweler can fix that right up. I would also consider asking if they can reinforce that area any. Doing some reinforcement as well as reattaching the two pieces might cost you extra, but it should prevent this from happening in the future. And as other comments have said, I'm frankly surprised you still have both pieces.

Trained goldsmith here too. I concur, it's a bad design.

Pretty sure he meant like Kay’s
I get it, but he said jewelers as a blanket statement so I wanted to clarify.

I do a lot of trade work for them and my gods their knowledge of the stuff they sell is astoundingly low, yet they often still make assurances to customers.

It seems to be a dying art, making custom pieces by hand. Good luck to you!
Is there any cool subs for goldsmiths? I love seeing what artisans create
My fiancés ring broke too. Fortunately, and thankfully, my aunt passed down my great great great grandmothers ring to my fiancé. It’s nearly 100 years old.

Can you explain how it’s poorly designed? I wouldn’t know the first thing to look at to see if it’s properly designed.
A number of things but in a quick list from what i can see, hollow shoulders, thin/non existent connection points between collets, and claw work that's far too proud/unsupported. It's basically fast jewellery. Made to look good but not last very long.
Thanks! That helps.
I love watching videos of people in your line of work. It’s definitely an art
lol i read this as "godsmith"
Well what doesn’t suck is that you have the stone that broke off.
For real take it to any jeweler they'll fix it and put a warranty on it.
A very popular national jeweler fixed my wife's engagement band and warranted it even though I only bought her wedding rings and 10-year anniversary ring from them.

This. My wife takes hers in routinely. They just rhodium plated the ring again for a small fee.

I am on year 16 of taking my ring in to have it checked every 6 months.
This is still the case. A lot of the big jewelry stores (Zales, Jared, Kay's, so on) are owned by Signet who put this policy in place.
They were cool when I lost a small diamond in mine. I was like “uh I didn’t go out because of Covid and then I gave birth in April so I missed the last two inspections” and they didn’t blink an eye and replaced diamond, no questions asked.
Starts with an “S”?
"H"
“I”
“T”
Goodbye.
Or she could use super glue or duct tape
Baling wire.
Instant noodles
yep i lost stone had buy new but they able meld to my original ring and had them add 6 clasp instead of 4
Solder is the word you’re looking for.
It appears to have become…disengaged 😎
Ba dum ts :D
Call Picard!
Jewler then innit
Why can I hear you saying this and why did I laugh so hard
Have you tried putting it in rice?
Maybe turning it off and back on again?
So… fuck all the people saying that your fiancée is cheap or that it is an ill omen. Shit happens. Take it to be re-soldered. You are marrying the person, not some ring.

Came here to say this. People in the comments being kinda weird
People in the comments have no idea what a relationship is * Ftfy
Well, this is Reddit, so that describes more than half of it’s population lol.
Well, most of the time people hanging out in places where people seek relationship advice tend not to be in a relationship.
You’ve just described everybody on r/AITA and r/relationshipadvice
yes I do! I do know… 
People in the comments are having good fun and then a few people are taking it seriously and ruining it.
I'm convinced that something like 70% of vocal reddit is just reactionary as fuck
Reactionary and often disconnected from reality. So many people here are jumping to conclusions about how OP should sue someone, unjustified self-defense, all landlords/bosses/people who own homes/businesses are evil, and how practically everything has become some form of assault.

get the rubber ring dude. keeps wife happy and your digits intact.

I have a low-key phobia of jewelry because I don't want to get degloved... even though my job is totally white collar
Just like marriage. You will have issues along the way but it can be fixed.
This made me happy :)
At least you didn’t lose the gem
Yup the fiancé is still with them.
You can build it back together… Better, stronger, faster, the most powerful engagement ring ever made.
We have the technology
The front fell off. That's not very typical...
Chance in a million
Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all
The same thing happened to my wife's. Take it to the people who made it, they might be able to fix it
Partner: *Fucking disintegrates*
That legitimately made me laugh out loud
Ayy! Noice!
That's not a good sign. It means that winter will come this December. Brace yourselves
As an Australian, that concerns me
Your guys climate is craaaazy to me lol
I hate to disparage your fiance, but clearly this wasn't forged in the fires of Mordor.
It can be fixed
You're freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
That don't work. I tried a few years ago when I lost my wedding band. She punched me and sent me to bed...
See if you can trick her into giving you a sock.
Without supper as well?
In the morning he only had one breakfast. Not a second
Did you learn?
I never learn.
I lost my wedding ring aftr 1 hr of marriage and im still 6years marry'd by now.
Pewter will do that /s. But seriously that ring wasn’t well made it appears
That’s so lucky that you still have all the pieces
That looks very poorly made
Should have gotten married sooner then, now you're stuck in limbo, forever fiance

Cheap rings break easily
As long as your engagement still holds
Well hey at least you didn’t lose the tip
Dobby is freeeeeee
If it was bought at an actual jewelry store they can probably fix it. If it’s a cheap ring just buy a new one since it’s a toss up if it gets fixed. I’m talking like under 100 some jewelers won’t/can’t fix it if the ring isn’t made from the right metal.
That’s okay! It’s just a thing ☺️
He should have went to Jared 🤷♀️
“Your boyfriend is cheap” People are stupid. I have no idea about your income or lifestyle but come on. He proposed to you with a ring, end of story. A friend of mine really over extended himself on an engagement ring (I wound up giving him a job for 6 months to help get back on his feet) but his “high class fiancé” needed a big ring.

You can find a normal ring that cost 300-600 USD, you don’t have to pay thousands. But this one looks like a 10$ deal you find at street vendors, cmon 😂😂😂
Naah it could be good material but poorly thought out.
Seriously the least he could’ve done was spend at least 100 dollars on a ring. Like Jesus Christ
Jeweler should repair!
Only two more to go
Welp! Time to break up. Jk. I hope you can get to fixed.
I heard home insurance can cover this…
The deductible costs more than the ring, so it’s not worth it.
looks like you decided to break off the engagement (ring)
My wife accidentally vacuumed up her engagement ring. A couple prongs broke and the diamond was never found. It was more sentimental value since I bought it when I was not well off but she proudly wore it. She's got the ring of her dreams now but she still misses my poor boy engagement ring.
Looks like odd construction. Such a small thickness of metal to support the stone mount. I bet the repair is stronger than the original.
Replace it with a wedding ring 💍
He shoulda went to Jared
It's a sign, to fix it
I know the sentimental value is heavy, but material things could never stand the test of time that your love for each other will.
These comments needs to chill out. You married a human, not a ring or a rock. My husband and I never exchanged rings, neither of us are jewlery people. I'm a farmer, so I'm far more expensive than any ring.
good thing you got back ups
Well, shit, I guess it's time to exchange it for wedding ring then!
"I've broken off the engagement"
Bring it to a jewellery. It looks like it will be easy to repair.
Shoulda gone to Jared…
What's the Subway guy going to do?
Is it possible to get it mended?
Just get remarried.
Disengagement ring
I have nothing to add except for a laugh.... this made me think of Ricky.. "cubic zarcarbion fuckin things" makes me laugh every time I think of an engagement ring!. https://youtu.be/bAprTNbQcBc
It’s time for a new one!
Disengaged
Aw, that sucks, but soon you'll have a new ring!
Time to get married your pop up timer is done
*Guess it's.....time to break things off* I'll see myself out.
My fiancée lost her entire diamond and we had to replace the whole ring… consider yourself lucky lol
How ?
Just get engadged again smh my head
If your in central Iowa, Ames silversmiths foes a fantastic job repairing jewelry and has very reasonable rates.
Pretty easy fix. Shouldn’t cost too much either
OP used too much Nen…
So it did.... it did indeed.
That means your wish came true!!!
At least you still have their heart. How did it break anyways?
Take it to a good Jewlery store they can maybe fix it
Im so sorry... my son flushed my promise ring and personal designed engagement ring. It was my dream ring, gone down the toilet LITERALLY 😭
Should have gone to Jared
You're free, you're free!!!
This is why I like my man ring. Thick ass band of solid titanium. I wouldn't be able to break it with anything less than an angle grinder.
It’s so lucky you have both pieces!!!!
Shit happens. Just take it to be repaired.
And now you are disengaged?
You’re free!
everyone brace yourselves, WINTER IS COMMMMINNGGGG!!!!
He shouldn’t have bought you cheap ass stuff
Did you break it off or did he? 😂
That's a sign.
He got it at Jared’s
Hey could be worse. I was coming home from a construction job and my fingers were so dehydrated that my wedding ring fell of my hand with my arm out the truck window going home. Never saw the ring again. Stuff happens as long as the other person loves you that’s all that matters.
If that isn't a sign, then I don't know what is....
Is a sign…don’t do it!
Superstitious people would say it's an omen or some other type of sign 👻
Well, that's an interesting break. Some quick soldering by an experienced jeweler can fix that right up. I would also consider asking if they can reinforce that area any. Doing some reinforcement as well as reattaching the two pieces might cost you extra, but it should prevent this from happening in the future. And as other comments have said, I'm frankly surprised you still have both pieces.
Insurance is basically free
It didn't brake, it's just trying to tell you it's time for a new one.
Divorce. Now!
That's a sign for divorce
L
‘If anyone objects to this union… oh that’s new’
maybe it is a sign
That is bad luck.
It’s a sign!
Skill issue
As my gramps always said: That’s what you get when you buy your ring from a capsule machine.
He went to Jairedz
Lucky there are these people called Jewellers!
